BLUES & SWING
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!

4 Still Got the Blues—Dave Mills. This medium-
fast B-flat blues tune swings from top to bottom.
The solo section features space for solos from
the tenor sax or trombone. This tune is a great
introduction to playing the music of Count Basie
and when you hear it, you will recognize the style
instantly. This will get your developing group
learning to swing hard from beginning to end!

4 Stolen Moments—Oliver Nelson/arr. Mike
Kamuf. Every developing jazz ensemble should
play this chart! Mike Kamuf's arrangement
on this Oliver Nelson classic falls right in the
pocket at about 110 bpm. The iconic melody is
unforgettable and there are written or improvised
solos for alto sax and trumpet. The lead trumpet
range goes to G above the staff and there are
options for reduced instrumentation. This is a fine
chart for almost any band at any ability level.

Reward your key players with the opportunity to shine with one or more of these new solo
features. They offer a solo part all the way through with ample support from the ensemble.
4e Aria—Rick Lawn. As the title suggests, this is a beautiful melodic feature for alto sax. In
addition to the haunting tune, there are subtle supportive ensemble figures that weave a
rich fabric of accompaniment and include flugelhorns and cup mutes in the trumpet section.
The improvised solo needs only two scales - concert D harmonic minor and E-flat major.
An ensemble chorus follows the solo section and leads to a cadenza before a slower, more
dramatic close. A great opportunity to feature your alto player!

4 Have Bass, Will Travel—Bob Curnow. This slow swing opens up with your bass player
soloing (written or improved) for 12 bars before the band moves in with a cool, quiet, rich
statement of the theme. Give your bass player a shot at this feature! Bass is featured
throughout. Two different bass parts are included; one with a written solo throughout and
one with just changes for the more mature player. Moderate ranges for all makes this a very
accessible chart for most bands.

4 I Remember Clifford—Benny Golson/arr. Erik Morales. This Benny Golson ballad has
become a standard trumpet or flugelhorn solo feature over the years. This chart is a gorgeous
straight-eighth ballad at around 70 bpm that features a flugel soloist while the entire ensemble
shines. The flugelhorn solo is entirely written, with some suggested improvisation also included.
A brief double-time section lets the ensemble and soloist stretch out for variety. The lead
trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff, and optional flute and vibraphone parts come
with the set. Highly recommended!

le Wichita Lineman—Jimmy Webb/arr. Eric Richards. Although this was a pop hit back in
the late 1960s, this familiar ballad lends itself nicely for jazz ensemble treated here as a jazz
waltz. Scored to feature a solo trombone, alternate solo parts are provided for B-flat and E-flat
instruments for added flexibility. This terrific setting features a driving style with solid hits for the
full ensemble as well as feature spots for the brass section and also the saxes.
