BLUES & SWING
medium
e A Big Cuppa Joe—Paul Murtha. Featuring a
churning swing style and a catchy riff-based
melody, this well-crafted chart spins its way
through every section of the ensemble. In the
solo section, written samples are provided for
tenor, trumpet, and trombone, however with
the easy changes and open format, anyone in
the band can take a solo. This chart is highly
caffeinated and a lot of fun!

H Dat Dere—Bobby Timmons/arr. Erik Morales. A
soulful tune with a catchy title and melody! Erik
Morales captures composer Bobby Timmons'
medium swing groove. At a moderate tempo,
with a slightly mysterious intro, the saxes grab
the melody and it builds from there. A written
(or ad lib) alto solo is provided with a fat shout
chorus. This is an outstanding chart in every
respect! Highly recommended!

4e Down a Notch—Paul Baker. A medium-slow 12-
bar blues in the Basie tradition, with accessible
figures that swing hard. At this tempo the band
can focus on the swing style and really make the
shout chorus shout! The chart opens with two
choruses of piano solo before the saxes come
in to state the melody. After a strong send-off,
the floor is open for soloists. This chart ends with
a big shout chorus! Trumpet range is to written
high C; trombone range is to G. You don't want
to miss this one!

4 Fascinating Rhythm—George Gershwin/arr.
Charles Booker. This classic George Gershwin
song from the Great American Songbook has
been recorded by many great artists from Fred
and Adelle Astaire in 1926 to Tony Bennett and
Diana Krall in 2018. This arrangement takes us
through an array of styles and reminds us why
these great Gershwin classics remain such an
important part of American music. There are
solo opportunities for alto and tenor, written or
improvised. This is a "fascinating" chart!

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.

4e Hittin' at Minton's—Paul Baker. Named after
the legendary Harlem nightclub where bebop
was born, this medium swing chart speaks the
language of bebop from the first measure to
the last. Trumpets and altos state the melody
echoing Bird and Diz. Solo space is provided for
alto sax and trumpet. A challenging shout chorus
follows, leading to the grand finale. Trumpet
range is to written high C; trombone range is
to G. Give your students experience with the
language of bebop!

e Honeysuckle Rose—Thomas "Fats" Waller/arr.
Paul Baker. Here's a swingin' jazz classic played
around 156 bpm with written suggested solos
provided for alto sax 1 and trumpet 2 with cues
for piano and trumpet 1. The sax soli, drum fills,
a few familiar quotes, along with well-notated
rhythm section parts all come together to create
a fine chart that will make developing groups
shine. A nice swing chart done well!

4e How the Mind Wanders—Lars Halle. Add some
variety and a change of pace to any program
with this buoyant, medium-tempo swinger for
advancing groups that evokes classics like Li'l
Darlin' and Cute. Although written or improvised
solo space is provided for alto saxophone and
trumpet, it's the band that truly shines on this
outstanding chart. Additional features include
standard instrumentation with trumpets on
flugelhorns and optional vibes. A very helpful
guitar chord chart is included in the set. This is
not to be missed!

4 The Main Attraction—Kris Berg. "The Main
Attraction" is a hard drivin' shuffle in the style
of Basie, Thad and Mel, and Phil Wilson, but
with a slightly more modern groove. This is the
perfect opener for any concert or festival! The
tune is based on a 16-bar blues, features lots of
ensemble for the band, and has solo spots for
any saxophone, brass player, guitarist or pianist.
Your performance can't go wrong if you're
featuring "The Main Attraction!"

He Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Andrew Homzy.
Here's a playable yet very effective arrangement
of this signature Mingus composition. The
familiar baritone sax riff is handled by three
saxes, and there is also a substantial soli for the
entire saxophone section. Optional parts are
included for flute, clarinet and French horn. A
terrific introduction to the genius of Mingus!

4 A Night at the Golden Nugget (Edited
Edition)—Gene Roland/arr. Bob Curnow. This is
one of the highly original swinging charts featured
on Stan Kenton's Adventure in Blues album. This
edited version is written for standard big band
instrumentation. This edition eases some of the
challenges of the original along with changing
the instrumentation. Alto sax and trumpet are
soloists on this medium blues swinger. It is a lot
of fun to play!

4e Non-Stop Hustle—Mike Tomaro. This jazz samba
will provide any program with some interesting
variety. The strong melody is orchestrated
beautifully, and the chart also provides solo
space for your featured soloists (written or ad lib).
Perfect for concert or festival programming.

4e Oh, Lady Be Good—George Gershwin/arr. Matt
Morey. A high-energy intro sets the tone for
this hard-swinging arrangement of the classic
Gershwin song. The trombone section is
featured on the melody as the saxes provide
accompaniment. Solo opportunities for trumpet
and trombone follow. A brief trumpet section
soli starts the shout chorus before the rest of the
ensemble joins in. This chart is loud and proud
from beginning to end and will show off a strong
band to its fullest. Check this one out!

He Out of the Doghouse—Erik Morales. Arranger/
composer Erik Morales delivers! This outstanding
shuffle chart sounds like a big old freight train
coming down the tracks, and it just builds and
builds! There's a wonderful section after the
optional solos that features a powerful sax soli
without the rhythm section, and there are great
breaks for piano and drums throughout. There
are also some independent bari sax lines and
optional written solos for alto, tenor and guitar.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above the
staff and there's an optional ending with lead
trumpet notes up to C. This is a hot chart! Our
highest recommendation! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

4 Saxomania—Rich Woolworth. As the title
implies, this swingin' chart features the
saxophone section in all of its glory! Written in a
12-bar blues style, there is space for all your sax
players to play written or improvised solos over
the B-flat blues. With a catchy melody and some
well-written big blow sections, this tune is sure
to be a favorite of your entire band and, most
importantly, the saxes!

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!

4e Solar—Miles Davis/arr. John Wasson. From his
early "cool" period, this Miles Davis standard is
arranged here in a contemporary setting featuring
alto sax and flugelhorn on the melody. Solo
space is provided for each, and a full-band soli
treatment rounds out this superb chart.
