A Mis Abuelos—Arturo Sandoval/arr. Michael
Mossman. More than just a showcase for your
lead trumpet, this monster chart is a powerful
statement for the entire ensemble. Opening with
the quasi flamenco strains and followed by a
melancholy trumpet solo, the first big ensemble
hit is guaranteed to move the audience back a few
rows! Great writing for all sections and especially
the rhythm section.

Alianza—Erik Morales. "Alianza," the Spanish
word for alliance, is represented here through the
high-energy blending of Latin and swing styles.
The main melody seamlessly integrates the two
styles. There is a written-out jazz solo for trumpet 2
and every section of the band is featured at some
point. The lead trumpet range is to written A above
the staff. Optional parts included for flute, horn
in F, baritone/tenor sax, tuba and percussion. A
refreshing challenge! Highly recommended!

Are You Going with Me?—Pat Methany & Lyle
Mays/arr. Bob Curnow. Here is a take on one of
the Pat Methany Group's most popular tunes. This
arrangement features solos by tenor saxophone,
guitar, and trumpet. It takes some mature soloists to
sustain the improvisations. Working through different
key areas, the writing employs lush orchestration
and smooth, ear-catching counterpoint throughout.
This will be a unique addition to your library.

H
Armando's Rhumba—Chick Corea/arr. Mike
Tomaro. From Chick Corea's My Spanish Heart
album, this tune is not really a "rhumba," but
rather an extremely energetic samba. This chart
features dynamic and challenging passages for
the entire ensemble and also ample room for
soloists. Nice chart!
10283046 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . .MA 60.00
H
Black Orpheus—Luiz Bonfa/arr. Eric Richards.
Here's a super high-energy Latin samba arranged
by Eric Richards that is the perfect opener or closer
for any performance. There are solo opportunities for
tenor sax, baritone sax, 2nd trombone and drums.
This is a powerhouse chart that features tons of
cookin' rhythm, a melody that floats above great
counterpoint and a magnificent trumpet section soli
that really brightens things up. Exciting festival chart!
10011985 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . A 62.00
H Blue Rondo a la Turk—Dave Brubeck/arr. Kris
Berg. The essence of the original is captured here
with this updated version of Dave Brubeck's classic
tour de force in a big-band setting! The meter
alternates from a 9/8 straight Afro-Cuban feel to
a more relaxed 12/8 swing style, and they blend
perfectly with Brubeck's rhythmic patterns. There's
solo space for alto 1, trumpet 2 and drums, and
lead trumpet goes up to written C above the staff.
This is an exceptional chart for festival or concert!
2480796 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . .MA 60.00
Bolivia—Cedar Walton/arr. Eric Richards. A big
ensemble introduction leads into the familiar and
hip bass and piano line followed by the melody
stated by alto, tenor, trumpet, and trombone. This
chart also features great section and full ensemble
parts throughout, a huge shout chorus, and the
lead trumpet goes to written high D. Solo space is
available for alto, tenor, trumpet, and drums. This
extended arrangement is a great big band chart on
a great Cedar Walton jazz classic. An ideal festival
chart for better bands!

Bolivian Fantasy—Michael Philip Mossman. As
the title implies, this Michael Mossman original
captures a Bolivian style utilizing various layers of
sound and shifting moods. Trombones are featured
at first, but every section of the ensemble gets
a workout on this stunning piece. A stop-time
section launches the tenor sax solo, and an open
percussion feature sets up the powerful finish with
the entire ensemble.

Bossa Nova de Funk—Willy Maiden. Recorded
on The New Sounds of Maynard Ferguson and his
Orchestra in 1963, this is the original version of
the chart (instrumentation: four saxophones, four
trumpets, two trombones, piano, bass, and drums)
as composed by one of the most creative writers in
jazz history, Willie Maiden. There is also an edited
version available with standard instrumentation.
This piece has a great feel to it, moving through
a lovely melody to solo space for many players and
back to a cool, quiet ending. This one will make you
and your audience want to dance!

Bossa Nova de Funk—Willy Maiden/arr. Bob
Curnow. Recorded on The New Sound of Maynard
Ferguson and his Orchestra in 1963, this edited
version incorporates Maynard's super-high lines
into the chart so that there are no superhuman
concerns in that respect. This piece has a great
feel to it, moving through a lovely melody to solo
space for many players and back to a cool, quiet
ending. This one will make you and your audience
want to dance!

Caravan—Duke Ellington/arr. John Wasson.
Recently featured in the motion picture
"Whiplash," this barnburner by outstanding
arranger John Wasson is pure Latin fire from
start to finish! This chart will have your students
begging to practice. With the opportunity for an
extended alto sax solo, this Rolls Royce of an
arrangement is definitely top-notch!

Cerebro Congelado—Gordon Goodwin. Gordon
Goodwin presents a funky Latin/pop original
targeted at the skilled high school level. As with all
Goodwin charts, it's very exciting and drives from
beginning to end. It's played around 176 bpm with
the lead trumpet range going to written high C.
Sample solos are included for all instruments and
the Latin percussion part includes bongos, congas,
cowbell and shaker. In addition, optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentations. If you want
excitement, this chart is for you. It's all very hip and
highly recommended!
10997204 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . .MA 52.00
The Duke—Dave Brubeck/arr. Mike Tomaro. This
jazz standard composed by Dave Brubeck came
to notoriety on the landmark 1957 Miles Davis/Gil
Evans collaboration Miles Ahead. This chart takes
the composition in a somewhat different direction
with a fully notated Afro-Cuban groove. Solos are
included for alto saxophone and trumpet.
11100139 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . .MA 55.00
H El Abrazo—Alan Baylock. The beautiful ballad
beginning and ending in this Alan Baylock original
will bring tears to your eyes. The chart then moves to
an exciting samba around 110 bpm for the half note
with occasional swing sections interspersed. The
lead trumpet range is to written high C and there
is an extended tenor sax solo with chord changes.
You won't forget this chart, it's special in every way.
A truly stunning chart, this one will provide plenty of
opportunities for your band to shine - it's the perfect
festival chart. Highly recommended!
10593791 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . .MA 60.00
El Fuego de la Tierra—Erik Sherburne. El Fuego
de la Tierra, The Fire of the Earth, is an exciting,
high-energy samba chart. Each section is featured
at various points throughout the chart along with
an open solo section. A written sample solo is
included in the alto sax 1 part with chord changes
included in all parts. There's a fine unison soli
section followed by interplay between the sections.
A big Latin shout chorus makes an impressive end
to a festival performance! Also available as a
flexible-instrumentation small-group chart, Pepper
number 10882368.

H
Eleanor Rigby—Lennon & McCartney/arr. Eric
Richards. Commissioned by the U.S. Army Jazz
Ambassadors, this Eric Richards chart shines new
light on the beauty and depth of this classic Beatles
hit. An up-tempo Brazilian groove gives way to hints
of samba and songo, but always with a smooth and
laid-back feel. A piano solo is featured off the top,
followed by a trio of tenor, trombone and guitar on
the head, and later solo space for one or more of
these players. A brief nod to the classical feel of the
original Beatles track helps build to a climatic shout
for the full ensemble. Nice!
10343782 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . A 60.00
From A to Z—Kris Berg. This chart for advancing
groups tips its hat to jazz artists such as Tito Puente
and Poncho Sanchez. From A to Z is a funky cha-
cha over modal changes, providing written or
improvised solo opportunities for anyone in the
band. It moves right along at around 144-152 bpm,
has a rhythm section/auxiliary percussion interlude,
and features an alternating small band within the
big band setting. Recorded by Kris Berg & The
Metroplexity Big Band on their album Perspective,
this cool chart has it all!
10968426 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . .MA 55.00
Get Smart Theme—arr. Victor Lopez. Check it
out! Victor Lopez sets this classic TV theme in an
Afro/Cuban groove that alternates with a 12/8 swing
style, all at around 120 bpm. There are sample solos
for alto sax 1 and trumpet 2 with the lead trumpet
range going to written A above the staff. This
distinctive melody will bring smiles to everyone. It's
powerful, exciting, and a show stopper!
10997208 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . .MA 52.00
Gibraltar—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf.
Gibraltar is a Freddie Hubbard jazz standard
recorded by many jazz giants. It's a very hip samba
that cooks at around 180 bpm with written-out
solos provided for trumpet 2 and tenor sax 2, plenty
of action for the drummer, and a lead trumpet
range to written A. Also included are a few snippets
of Freddie Hubbard licks throughout. Playable
with optional expanded instrumentations, this is a
smokin' chart in every way!
