BLUES & SWING easy
H American Patrol—arr. Mike Lewis. Glenn Miller's
band made this a huge World War II hit song and
here it is scored for young players. This chart has no
individual solos, very modest brass ranges and plenty
of ensemble sound. Easy to rehearse and perform,
it swings right along and is playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentation. A winner!

H April in Paris—Vernon Duke/arr. Rick Stitzel.
Made famous by The Count Basie Orchestra, here
is a great-sounding yet playable version of this
standard for developing bands. It includes feature
spots for every section and optional written or
improvised solos for trumpet and trombone. This
accessible chart maintains an authentic sound
even in this easy version. It will even sound full
and complete with only 4 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3
trombones and rhythm! Also included are optional
parts for flute, 2 clarinets, horn in F and tuba.
Highly recommended!

H Avenue Swing—Mike Collins-Dowden. This Mike
Collins-Dowden swing-style original features a hip
melody, interesting call-and-response passages
between the saxes and brass, nice dynamic
contrasts, a written or improv solo for trumpet, and
great drum licks. The tempo is around 144 bpm,
the trumpet 1 range is to written E top space, and
optional flute, clarinet and vibes parts are included.
Add in the exceptional ensemble writing, and it's all
you need!

Baby That's What I Need—arr. Vince Gassi.
This tune is better known as Walk Tall and was
originally performed by Cannonball Adderley's
quintet. It has a gospel flavored R&B groove
and the features include a lead trumpet range to
written F top line, a written tenor sax solo that
trades with the ensemble. Playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentations, it's a very
cool chart!
10355568 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
Bad Attitude!—Michael Sweeney. As soon as
you see the tempo marking, "Nasty Swing," you
know this is going to be a fun, different approach
to a swingin' blues chart! Just the right amount of
dissonance, in just the right places, gives the piece
an "edgy" groove that really makes it live up to the
nastiness of its title! Highly recommended!
2472909 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .40.00
Beantown Blues Parade—Rick Hirsch.
Beantown Blues Parade is an upbeat New Orleans
second line groove for developing jazz bands. It

festival program.

Bewitched—Rodgers & Hart/arr. Rick Stitzel.
This familiar Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart
jazz standard has certainly retained its timeless
quality even today. Skillfully arranged for younger
players in a medium swing style, this chart
features saxes on the main melody supported
by answers from the brass. Also included is a
short written or improvised solo for tenor sax as
well as solid scoring for the entire ensemble, plus
it's playable with optional reduced or augmented
instrumentations. Additional features include
chord/scale sheets in all keys and written-out bass
lines and piano voicings. Highly recommended!
10667346 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .40.00

accessible swing chart has it all... a medium-up
tempo, cool melodic lines, textural variety, mature
harmonies, easy brass ranges, written or ad lib
solos for tenor 1 and trombone 1, and a highly
effective a cappella stop-time interlude. Want
more? Ok then, it swings with a swagger and
is playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations. The Big Band Theory will make
your young players sound like pros!
10513857 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
Blue Monk—Thelonious Monk/arr. Michael
Sweeney. One of the all-time great tunes by
jazz legend Thelonious Monk! Mike's authentic
adaptation preserves Monk's unique rhythmic
phrases and style. Opening with a trumpet/tenor
duet, there's also plenty of tutti ensemble playing
and flexible solo sections over easy blues changes.

Blues by Five—Red Garland/arr. John Berry.
Recorded on the 1956 album Cookin' with the
Miles Davis Quintet, this jazz standard composed
by pianist Red Garland adapts beautifully for young
jazzers. With a moderate tempo, a riff-based
melody, and non-threatening soloing on the blues
progression, this is the perfect introduction to the
music of Miles Davis for students and audiences.
Suggested solos are included along with chord/
scale sheets in all keys, and it's playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Highly recommended!

H Blues in Hoss' Flat—Foster & Basie/arr. Mark
Taylor. There is no better style for young players
to emulate than that of the Count Basie Orchestra.

by Mark Taylor in a very playable version that still
sounds authentic.

11199494 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
The Blues Walk—Clifford Brown/arr. Paul
Murtha. Introduce your young players to jazz
legend Clifford Brown with this classic riff tune.
This creative arrangement for developing groups is
great for learning to improvise with the suggested
solos, and the ensemble figures are repetitive and
easy to learn. It's scored for standard jazz ensemble
instrumentation, but will sound fine with 4 saxes, 3
trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm. Also included
are optional parts for flute, 2 clarinets, horn in F and
tuba. Every band needs to experience the blues!
10052548 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .40.00
H
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy—arr. Michael
Sweeney. This chart is way up on the "fun meter"!
Mike's playable arrangement doesn't sacrifice any of
that classic swing era sound and style. The trumpet
section is the primary featured section; however,
the saxes also get a crack at the melody, and the
trombones will really enjoy the glissandi in the shout
chorus. A superb chart for your young band!
2363323 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .40.00
Bye, Bye Blackbird—arr. Mark Taylor. Arranged
in a medium slow Count Basie style, this is a great
chart for teaching ensemble balance and laidback
swing. It includes plenty of tutti ensemble playing,
plus a Basie-like piano solo that's completely
written out. Highly recommended!
10317291 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .40.00
Caldonia—Fleecie Moore/arr. Rick Stitzel. Made
famous by Woody Herman's Thundering Herd, here

most of the heavy lifting, supported by punches and
backgrounds in the brass. Also featured are short
solos for tenor and/or baritone saxes. Suggested
solos are included along with chord/scale sheets in
all keys, and it's playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!

H Caravan—Duke Ellington/arr. Michael Sweeney.
Everyone will recognize this Duke Ellington classic!
It was one of the featured works in the 2014 movie
"Whiplash" and uses interesting textures and
alternates between a Latin groove and swing. This
is a very effective production number with limited
technical demands for young players.
2307627 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .40.00
Centerpiece—Harry "Sweets" Edison/arr. Mike
Story. Wow, this is great! Mike Story has created
an ideal easy swing/shuffle chart on a great blues
melody by Sweets Edison. Centerpiece is accessible
with easy brass ranges, a medium swing tempo of
120 bpm, along with brief written or improvised
solos for tenor sax, trumpet, and alto sax. Well-
notated rhythm section parts are included along

greats and will become a staple of your library!
Highly recommended!
10867420 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
Change Up—Carl Strommen. Based on the chord
changes to Gershwin's I Got Rhythm, this bright
swing chart was written especially for young groups.
The brass ranges are accessible with trumpet up to
Eb5 and D4 for trombone. The rhythm section parts
provide the drummer with a solid concept of what
to play, plus there are notated piano voicings and
bass lines. The solo section is written out with solo
sheets provided in all keys along with scales to assist
improvisation. Playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations, it can work just as well
at a slower tempo. Great for learning the swing idiom!
