JAZZ/ROCK & FUNK medium-advanced & advanced
Q Ball—Dan Torosian/arr. Paul Baker. Here's a
flashback to the funky 1970s themes of Quincy
Jones and Tower of Power, including optional wah-
wah guitar! Each horn section gets a workout while
the rhythm section percolates underneath. Solo
opportunities are for alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet,
trombone, and drums. The trumpet range is to
written B-flat while the trombone range is to G. It
just cooks and cooks!

Running with Scissors—Gordon Goodwin.
Running with Scissors is a very hip, funky groove
chart played around 168 bpm. It's loaded with
classic Gordon Goodwin flair, plus sample solos
are provided for C instruments, E-flat alto or bari
saxes, B-flat tenor, B-flat trumpet, and trombone. It
begins as a nice, quiet funk groove, develops, and
has great textural variation between the rhythm
section and horns. The lead trumpet range is to
written high C with an optional D. Included is an
auxiliary percussion part and optional parts for flute
and vibes. More accessible than many Gordon
Goodwin charts, your band and its audiences will
totally enjoy this one. Highly recommended!

Salsa Rico—Jeff Jarvis. Salsa Rico is fast and hot
right off the top! The saxes take the lead with brass
answers and the excitement continues to build.
Effective salsa rhythms are utilized and the brass
ranges are moderate for more proficient groups.
The solos are ad lib for trombone and trumpet, or
anyone, over accessible straight-ahead changes.
Make sure to check out the potent a cappella
ensemble section after the solos. It's a salsa party!

Sneaky Pete—Ric Flauding/arr. Paul Baker. This
funky horn-driven chart weaves in and out of the
boundaries with winding chromatic lines and high-
energy accompaniment. The features include a
solid rhythm section pulse, ample full ensemble
scoring, and effective dynamic contrasts. With
satisfying ensemble backgrounds, the solo space is
for tenor sax, trombone, and guitar, and the drums
get several smaller opportunities, too. Written
brass ranges: trumpet to high C and trombone to
G. Sneaky Pete never lets up!

Squiggly—Kris Berg. Squiggly is the ultimate
feature for a contemporary guitarist. A quirky funk
melody over a blues chord progression makes the
perfect funk chart for any festival, contest or concert.
The solo space could be for guitar, tenor sax 1,
piano and/or bass. There are no woodwind doubles
and the lead trumpet range goes to F. Recorded by
Kris Berg and The Metroplexity Big Band on Time
Management featuring Andy Timmons.

you've been waiting for! Feature your bass
trombonist and/or your bari sax player in a funky
James Brown groove a la Cold Sweat. The solos
are notated with optional improvisation. Rhythm
section parts are notated as needed, and several
alternate parts are included in the set for expanded
instrumentation. Your band and audiences will get
up, get on up with Strut!

Alan Baylock. Don't miss this great chart that's
an ideal candidate for festivals and contests! It's
a funky, straight-eighth groove on a sensational
composition comfortably laying at about 118 bpm.

up to written high D, and a written-out or improvised
solo is for tenor sax, plus there are a few easy meter
changes. This is a winner in every respect!

Too Close for Comfort—Jerry Bock/arr. Gordon
Goodwin. A Gordon Goodwin vocal chart! In addition
to the vocal part, there are optional solo feature parts
for alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet or trombone for added
flexibility. Gordon has conceived this chart with the
solo intertwined into the fabric of the chart. The vocal
keys are F, G and Ab with modulations and the vocal
range is low E below middle C to Eb fourth space.
As recorded on The Phat Pack CD. An outstanding
feature for your singer or any horn player!

4 Turquoise—Sanford Kelly. This rambling jazz/
rock composition is a revival from a North Texas'
Lab '71 recording. This is an exciting chart! The
style changes will make this fun for your rhythm
section and your horns will be challenged by the
great writing, soaring lines, and variety of colors.
There is also an opportunity for a trumpeter to take
a solo. What a great way to close out a concert!

Tutu—Marcus Miller/arr. Michael Philip Mossman.
In 1987 Miles Davis took home the Grammy
award for best jazz instrumental soloist for his
performance of this composition by Marcus
Miller. From the album of the same name, Tutu
is creatively arranged here for full big band in a
sultry hip-hop fusion style similar to the original.
Featuring distinctive modal style harmonies, and
a few twists and turns, and solos for trumpet
(naturally) and alto sax, this is sure to be a
standout selection for any ensemble!

Tweet Fatigue—Gordon Goodwin. Gordon
Goodwin wrote this superb chart for a good high
school jazz ensemble to be played around 126
bpm with a straight-eighth feel and a rock groove.
The saxes start things off a cappella then things
heat up in a quirky, but clever Goodwin way.
Solo space is provided for a variety of players
with separate sample solos provided for C,
B-flat, E-flat, and trombone soloists. An auxiliary
percussion part plus all the usual optional
parts plus vibes are included for augmented
instrumentations. Here's your festival chart that's
highly recommended!

Us—Thad Jones. This funky rock classic is from
the Thad Jones library, and it's Thad at his best...

Vending Machine Isn't Broke... (The Light
Just Don't Work)—Craig Skeffington. Here's
an excellent contemporary chart for big band by
Craig Skeffington. Written in a modern straight-
eighth style at 170 bpm, it features all sections
of the band with improvisational space for alto
saxophone. Fully-notated rhythm section parts,
moderate brass ranges, a catchy melody, and
unique harmonies make this a favorite for festival
or concert performances. Wonderfully unique!

What You Dealin' With?—Wycliffe Gordon. This

gospel feel. Flexible solo space with written solos

there's something here for everyone!

Whiplash—Hank Levy/arr. Erik Morales. Featured
in the 2014 movie "Whiplash," depicting the
relationship between an ambitious student
musician and an abusive, yet respected
instructor, this chart is a super-exciting work in
7/4 composed by Hank Levy and arranged by Erik
Morales. Don't be intimidated by the meter... it's
challenging, but after a few minutes it feels quite
natural and the students will totally groove on it.
The melody is stated by 2nd trumpet and 1st alto
with solo space for both on easy chord changes.
Articulation is critical and the rhythm section
may want to spend some quality time together.
The lead trumpet range is to written D above
the staff. This is a unique but very desirable
chart to have in your library. You won't regret
playing Whiplash!
