BLUES & SWING
H Moondance—Van Morrison/arr. Victor Lopez.
Van Morrison's hit is a natural for jazz ensemble.
Now for bands at the easy level, this minor-
key swinger is incredibly hip! The captivating
melody moves through the sections of the band,
sometimes in unison, sometimes in harmony,
and the solo section is written for all the wind
players, so you can have anyone or everyone
play the written or ad lib solo. This tune is a
perennial favorite with jazz lovers!

4 North Shore Shuffle—Dean Sorenson. The
shuffle is one of the staple grooves of the big
band, and this one jumps right after the opening
lick and never looks back. Swinging melodies
and punchy accompaniment figures are featured
throughout. The shout chorus is ideal for teaching
ensemble phrasing and articulation. The open
solo sections offer everyone an opportunity for
improvisation, and the expanded scoring is great
for all kinds of bands. Get ready to swing with this
one!

4 On a Misty Night—Tadd Dameron/arr. Terry
White. This is sweet! This Tadd Dameron swing
classic scored for young jazz bands doesn't try
to be overly clever or tricky. It's just straight-
ahead swing style at a moderate tempo all the
way. There is an abundance of nice ensemble
passages and short written solos for tenor and
trumpet. And don't miss the interesting and
accessible sax soli. An outstanding vehicle for
teaching the swing style, it's also playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Our highest recommendation!

4e Sidetracked (But Not Derailed)—Peter
Sciaino. Here is a swinging minor blues! Inspired
by two John Coltrane compositions, Mr. PC
and Locomotion, this chart moves seamlessly
between sections. After the introduction and
initial statement of the melody there is a nice
development section that gives a dramatic send-
off to the solo section. There are written solos for
trumpet, alto saxophone, and piano with a killer
shout chorus.

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/trans. Mike
Lewis. Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable
swing tune of all time! This incredible transcription
is as close as you're going to come to the original
(which included clarinet and less than a full
compliment of brass). This chart is scored for a
standard 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and
rhythm, but aside from that, it is the original as
played by Benny Goodman. Every lick is there,
including all the Gene Krupa drum breaks! This
chart is a must for every big band's library!

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louie Prima/arr. Victor Lopez.
Yep, this is the Sing, Sing, Sing you know and
love, made famous by Gene Krupa and the Benny
Goodman Orchestra, only arranged for young
players by Victor Lopez. The classic drum solo
that can be opened up for as much excitement
as the crowd can stand, along with a written-out
tenor solo, reasonable brass ranges and lots of
meaty ensembles keep this great chart exciting. It
will also sound full with reduced instrumentation
or with the optional, non-jazz band parts. It's still
a showstopper! Highly recommended!

H Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Erik Morales.
Wow! If Nat Adderley could hear this chart on his
iconic jazz standard, he would be pleased! The
first statement stays very close to the original,
which is a good thing. The solos are for written
or improvised alto and trumpet, and the solo
backgrounds are simply wonderful. This swinger
plays well at about 176 bmp, has excellent full-
ensemble passages, a bari sax and rhythm
section break before the last chorus, an exciting
shout chorus, and great development. This chart
has it all! Our highest recommendation!

medium-easy
4 And Stay Out!—Terry White. Get ready to swing
hard! This easy medium-tempo blues in B-flat
features some great ensemble section-writing
and the band has some nice shout moments
throughout. The solo sections feature the
trumpet, trombone and later alto or tenor sax with
written solos included. This is a great tune to get
the energy going at your next concert!

H Autumn Leaves—Joseph Kosma/arr. Peter
Blair. This is a great old tune! Except...there's
nothing "old" sounding about it. It's a medium
swing version of a marvelous, often-played
standard that opens with an alto and trumpet
duet and is filled with tight ensemble punches.
The saxes are featured on a chorus and there is a
written or ad lib solo for piano.

e Bad Dog!—Mike Dana. Here's a great opener,
closer, or anything in between! This swinging
shuffle features cool lines, surprising harmonies,
great rhythm section hooks, and much more.
Notated rhythm section parts, reasonable brass
ranges, and flexibly written or improvised solo
space make this chart a winner. Additionally, it
has a nice feel, a fine harmonic structure, and a
dynamic shout chorus. Scored for standard big
band, it's also playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentation and includes a helpful
guitar chord chart. No bad dogs here!

e Diggin' the New Digs (from Incredibles
2)—Michael Giacchino/arr. Paul Murtha. From
the entertaining soundtrack of "Incredibles 2"
comes this marvelous jazz waltz that works great
for full jazz band. Baritone sax gets a rare turn in
the spotlight, followed by the brass section with
sax answers. The solo section can feature any
combination of alto sax, trumpet, or trombone
with suggested or improvised solos. A fun
change of pace and highly recommended!

He Don't Get Around Much Anymore—Ellington
& Russell/arr. Mark Taylor. One of the classic
trademark tunes from the Duke Ellington library,
this familiar jazz standard is solidly scored for
younger players by Mark Taylor. When it comes
to accessible charts in a medium swing style, this
one can't be beat! Highly recommended!

4 Eli Is Here!—Bob Curnow. Based on a medium-
slow, swinging feel, this chart moves quickly with
the tenors and trombones stating the theme.
The second statement is surrounded with lots of
lines that weave in and out. This is followed by a
tenor sax solo, then the full ensemble sets up a
trombone solo. The ensemble once again takes
over before the drums state some short solo
passages. Everyone will love the Basie style that
this chart emulates!

4e Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum—Wayne Shorter/arr. Mark
Taylor. From Wayne Shorter's influential 1964
album Speak No Evil, this jazz standard is
transformed here for developing jazz bands
by Mark Taylor. The relaxed swing feel and
harmonies of the original are all retained, and
solos for tenor sax and trumpet are included.

4 A Few Miles More—Mike Hammonds. This
original composition puts everyone deep in that
swinging groove from the start! Based on a 12-
bar blues in E flat, it features exciting throwback
styles including stop-time and call and response -
just like those famous jam sessions of yesteryear.
The shout chorus drives the tune home and
keeps the whole ensemble fully engaged to the
end. Your band will sound like they are jamming
with the greats on this one!
