JAZZ/ROCK & FUNK medium-advanced & advanced
Salsa Rico—Jeff Jarvis. Salsa Rico is fast and
hot right off the top! The saxes take the lead with
brass answers and the excitement continues to
build. Effective salsa rhythms are utilized and the
brass ranges are moderate for more proficient
groups. The solos are ad lib for trombone and
trumpet, or anyone, over accessible straight-
ahead changes. Make sure to check out the
potent a cappella ensemble section after the
solos. It's a salsa party!

Sneaky Pete—Ric Flauding/arr. Paul Baker. This funky
horn-driven chart weaves in and out of the boundaries
with winding chromatic lines and high-energy accomp-
animent. The features include a solid rhythm section
pulse, ample full ensemble scoring, and effective
dynamic contrasts. With satisfying ensemble back-
grounds, the solo space is for tenor sax, trombone,
and guitar, and the drums get several smaller
opportunities, too. Written brass ranges: trumpet to
high C and trombone to G. Sneaky Pete never lets up!

Squiggly—Kris Berg. Squiggly is the ultimate
feature for a contemporary guitarist. A quirky funk
melody over a blues chord progression makes the
perfect funk chart for any festival, contest or concert.
The solo space could be for guitar, tenor sax 1,
piano and/or bass. There are no woodwind doubles
and the lead trumpet range goes to F. Recorded by
Kris Berg and The Metroplexity Big Band on Time
Management featuring Andy Timmons.

Strut—Rick Hirsch. Strut is the low-end feature
you've been waiting for! Feature your bass
trombonist and/or your bari sax player in a funky
James Brown groove a la Cold Sweat. The solos
are notated with optional improvisation. Rhythm
section parts are notated as needed, and several
alternate parts are included in the set for expanded
instrumentation. Your band and audiences will get
up, get on up with Strut!

T.O.P. Adjacent—Gordon Goodwin. Here's a hyper
funk chart with a groove that just goes and goes!

Goodwin. Solo space is provided for alto sax, tenor
sax, trumpet, trombone and various rhythm players.
If you have the horses...climb aboard!

Tell Me a Bedtime Story—Herbie Hancock/arr.
Alan Baylock. Don't miss this great chart that's
an ideal candidate for festivals and contests! It's
a funky, straight-eighth groove on a sensational
composition comfortably laying at about 118 bpm.
The tempo is laid-back, the lead trumpet range is
up to written high D, and a written-out or improvised
solo is for tenor sax, plus there are a few easy meter
changes. This is a winner in every respect!

Toccata and Fudge—Julian Bond. This chart is
richly inspired by J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in
D Minor but brought to the realm of jazz ensembles!
This chart is unique with its funk treatment of this
classic with some mixed meter thrown in. There
is an open solo section to feature all of your best
improvisers. The lead trumpet plays up to D# above
the staff while the lead bone part takes you up to A.
Not to be missed!

PLAYING GUITAR in
a JAZZ ENSEMBLE
Dave Ness. Many jazz ensembles
are directed by a band director who
has been trained in woodwinds,
brass, and percussion but with
little or no guitar experience. When
recruited for jazz ensemble, guitar
students often do not read music
notation well, or at all. The goal of
this book is to simplify things for
the jazz guitarist. By focusing on
Freddie Green style, inexperienced
jazz ensemble guitarists have a
window into jazz style that will help
them become solid contributing
members of a swinging rhythm
section. Starting with Freddie
Green chords and voicings, the
book tracks these voicings across
different styles from blues and
swing to bossa nova. From there,
the book explores voicings on
higher strings that can be used
for accompanying soloists (known
as "comping"). Finally, the book
explores jazz scales for the guitar
that can be used for soloing. Chord
shapes and voicings are shown in
tab, standard notation, and chord
charts to appeal to all guitar levels
and backgrounds.
