Diggin' the New Digs—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!

Don't Stop Believin'—arr. Paul Baker. Hey rock
fans, here's a powerful rock ballad made famous
by Journey, arranged for young jazz ensemble.
From the opening line, this chart is magical to the
band and the audience. It has no jazz solos, but
if you have a guitar player, the arrangement has
an optional written guitar melodic line that's also
written for trumpets. A great classic and highly
recommended! Optional expanded instrumentation.

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.
11172125 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Enter Sandman—arr. Roger Holmes. From heavy
metal masters Metallica, this 1991 hit is one your
players can really cut loose on. Arranged here as a
feature for guitar, performance options are provided
for bands without guitar. All of the signature lines
are still here for a rockin' good time!
10023031 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Faith—arr. Paul Murtha. From the blockbuster
animated film "Sing," comes this driving rock
tune that was recorded by the legendary Stevie
Wonder with current pop sensation Ariana
Grande. Here's a funky version for jazz band
featuring an energetic groove and solid writing
for the entire ensemble. Written or ad lib solo
space for trumpet is provided along with chord/
scale sheets in all keys and written-out bass lines
and piano voicings. Highly recommended!

Finesse—Bruno Mars/arr. John Wasson. Here's
another in a long line of monster pop hits from
Bruno Mars! Finesse uses a funky hip-hop shuffle
style along with infectious harmonies and catchy
riffs. Every section gets a workout, and there's
a short written or improvised solo for trumpet.
Highly recommended!

Forget You—arr. Paul Murtha. With a sound
similar to the pop hits of the 1960s, this upbeat
tune was a huge hit by Cee Lo Green and also
featured on the TV show Glee, performed by
Gwyneth Paltrow. This effective chart for younger
players features a suggested tenor sax solo in the
beginning, which is then joined by the entire sax
section. The brass get their chance, a modulation
kicks in, and things transition to high gear to finish
up. Highly recommended!
10317270 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Free Ride—arr. John Wasson. Recorded by
the Edgar Winter Group in 1973, this driving
rock tune has a powerful contemporary edge
that remains popular today. This terrific chart is
propelled by a driving pulse and the signature
melodies and riffs from the original. The dynamic
level is almost full bore until the suggested or
improvised solo for trumpet. After the solo the
dynamics drop down and the whole thing begins
to build again! Everyone gets the melody at
some point, chord/scale solo sheets in all keys,
fully notated bass lines and piano voicings are
included. Highly recommended!

and melodies from the original.

H Gonna Fly Now—Bill Conti/arr. Victor Lopez.
The theme from "Rocky" is inspiring, triumphant,
powerful and noble! This rock-style chart is scored
for younger players with the familiar Maynard
Ferguson-flavored solo. The lead trumpet range is
to written A above the staff. It also includes a written
or improvised tenor solo and options for reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Gonna Fly Now is a great
classic that should be in all jazz ensemble libraries!
10028091 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Hard to Handle—arr. Paul Murtha. Hard to
Handle is a funk classic originally recorded by Otis
Redding back in the '60s and later covered by The
Black Crowes. Playable by developing groups,
Paul Murtha's chart has the fire and energy of the
original. The solo section is open for anyone, but
written samples are provided for alto sax, trumpet
and trombone. A great groove on this one!
11100164 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Heathens—arr. Dallas Burke & Allen Gray. This
hit from the group Twenty One Pilots starts off as
an elegant ballad and heats up halfway through the

solo sections in this chart, but the drummer does
have short featured solo fills before the big finish.
Optional parts for flute, clarinet and horn in F are
included for expanded instrumentation.

Hooked on a Feeling—arr. Paul Murtha.
Recorded by Blue Swede in 1974, this familiar
hit was featured prominently in the blockbuster
movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" as part of the
film's "Awesome Mix." Instantly recognizable
with the "ooga chaka" jungle chant, the popularity
of this easy-going rocker is now reaching a new
generation! Fun for all!
10490291 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
I Dreamed a Dream—arr. Roger Holmes. Here's
the touching ballad from the landmark musical and
recent motion picture "Les Miserables" in a nicely
paced and solidly scored arrangement for younger
jazz ensembles. With no solos, it's a beautiful
change of pace for any performance occasion.
Highly recommended!
10374174 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
H I Want You Back—arr. John Wasson. The music
of The Jackson 5 remains as popular today as
ever. Here is one of their biggest hits from the
Motown era in a funky arrangement that is skillfully
scored for the entire ensemble. No solos, just solid
ensemble writing!
10297517 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
In Summer—arr. Rick Stitzel. From Disney's
animated hit movie "Frozen" and sung by Olaf
the snowman, this entertaining song features a
light soft-shoe style that adapts quite naturally
for jazz bands. Easy-going and restrained at first,
the arrangement builds for more excitement as
it progresses. With skillful trading of the melody
between sections and slipping into a straight-ahead
swing style, this chart is sure to be a hit with players
and audiences! Great anytime of the year!
10490293 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Knock on Wood—arr. Paul Murtha. Although
originally recorded by Eddie Floyd in 1966, Knock
on Wood has remained popular thanks to covers by
artists such as Otis Redding, David Bowie, and Eric
Clapton. Featuring powerful and solid scoring, this
dynamic version for developing players has a brief
written or ad lib solo for alto sax and is based on the
swing-shuffle hit recorded by Amii Stewart in 1979.
Highly recommended!
10909002 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Land of Make Believe—Chuck Mangione/arr.
Mike Story. Chuck Mangione's hit Land of Make-
Believe is now available for younger players!
Opening with the melody doubled by alto sax and
trumpet in a dramatic, slow tempo, the chart then
breaks into the familiar melody, style and tempo.
Plus, there's a drum solo instead of the improvised
trumpet solo making it even more accessible for
young players. The ranges are very easy and the
rhythms are slightly tricky but will lock in with
repetition. A superb chart that will really come
together and be a huge success!
10011911 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
Living for the City—Stevie Wonder/arr. John
Wasson. From Stevie Wonder's acclaimed and
highly influential Innervisions album, Living for
the City features a slow, bluesy, funky groove and
memorable melodic lines. Adapted beautifully for
jazz ensemble, this chart provides feature space for
the trombone section along with powerful phrases
for the entire ensemble. A suggested or ad lib solo
is included for tenor sax. This is a hot must-have
that is highly recommended!
