4e Surly—Rick Hirsch. Angsty, moody, generally
annoyed. You can get all those feelings out on
Surly. Its driving groove, great melodic curve,
and hip instrumental interlude chorus make this
a great program addition. It's scored for three

parts for all saxophones, flute, clarinet, trumpet,
trombone, and French horn. Rhythm section

4 Toccata and Fudge—Julian Bond. This chart
is richly inspired by J.S. Bach's Toccata and
Fugue in D Minor but brought to the realm of
jazz ensembles! This chart is unique with its
funk treatment of this classic with some mixed
meter thrown in. There is an open solo section
to feature all of your best improvisers. The lead
trumpet plays up to D# above the staff while
the lead bone part takes you up to A. Not to be
missed!

4e 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.

take a solo. What a great way to close out a
concert!

sax and trumpet but can be assigned to other
instruments if desired.

of the signature tunes of the Cannonball Adderley
Quintet and composed by Nat Adderley, this
familiar jazz standard remains as popular today
as when it first arrived in 1960. Arranged here
in a solid even eighth-note style, this is an
extremely appealing choice for young groups.
Playable with options for reduced or expanded
instrumentations. Highly recommended!

the gas until the end.

4e Don't Stop Me Now—Freddie Mercury/arr. Paul Murtha. The music of the rock group
Queen is always fun to play - particularly this hit featuring solo alto sax in the slow opening,
then the full band rockin' out in the fast section. There's a short solo for alto sax, then a
return to the slow tempo for a dramatic finish.

arr. Ryan Fraley. From British progressive rock band Yes, this iconic moment in pop and
rock history is scored neatly for big band with the option to feature either a vocalist or tenor
sax soloist. Just like the original, powered by bass guitar and sprightly jazz drums, this
version captures the spirit of adventurous art rock. Two brief open solos for any instrument
cap the long outro.
