H 5.4 on the Richter Scale—Larry Neeck. 5.4 on
the Richter Scale is an upbeat modern-sounding
swing chart that really cooks! Hip 5/4 blues
sections are contrasted with a straight-ahead
swingin' 4/4 blues, which gives this chart its
unique appeal. There are plenty of opportunities
for your soloists to improvise on 4/4 blues
changes, or with the written suggested solos
included. It will sound great with full or reduced
instrumentation. Tired of the same old blues? 5.4
on the Richter Scale is a really fresh chart for your
next concert!

H Abracadabra—Larry Barton. The magic of this
slinky swinger will put your audience under a spell!
The lead wind players start things out on the head,

H Autumn Leaves—Joseph Kosma/arr. Peter
Blair. This is a great old tune! Except...there's
nothing "old" sounding about it. It's a medium
swing version of a marvelous, often-played
standard that opens with an alto and trumpet
duet and is filled with tight ensemble punches.
The saxes are featured on a chorus and there is a
written or ad lib solo for piano.

Bad Dog!—Mike Dana. Here's a great opener,
closer, or anything in between! This swinging
shuffle features cool lines, surprising harmonies,
great rhythm section hooks, and much more.
Notated rhythm section parts, reasonable brass
ranges, and flexibly written or improvised solo
space make this chart a winner. Additionally, it
has a nice feel, a fine harmonic structure, and a
dynamic shout chorus. Scored for standard big
band, it's also playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentation and includes a helpful
guitar chord chart. No bad dogs here!

Buckjump—Andrews & Ballard/arr. John
Wasson. Recorded by Trombone Shorty on
his 2011 album For True and featuring the
Rebirth Brass Band and 5th Ward Weebie, this
hot tune has a funky New Orleans style groove
with a moderate tempo and catchy riffs. The
trombones get the spotlight to start with, followed
by tight ensemble playing and later space for an
improvised or written trombone solo. This chart is
cool, confident and colorful! Highly recommended!

By George—Paul Baker. This fun swinger
introduces rhythm changes to younger players.
A strong dialogue between brass and saxes sets
the tone early before the saxes take the melody.
The written alto sax solo is based on Charlie
Parker's solo on Moose the Mooch. The written
trumpet solo is based on solos of Ella Fitzgerald
and Bud Powell. The shout section opens with
the horns trading fours with the bassist (written
bass solo provided).

Dig Them Georgia Peaches—Ed Gaston.
Based around the chord changes to Sweet
Georgia Brown, this original chart alternates
between a half-time shuffle and swing. Excellent
use of unison writing. Written solos for tenor sax
and trumpet. A hip and accessible chart!

Paul Murtha. From the entertaining soundtrack of

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 Get Around Much Anymore—Ellington
& Russell/arr. Mark Taylor. One of the classic

Flight of the Foo Birds—Neal Hefti/arr. Peter
Blair. This Peter Blair chart on the Neal Hefti/
Count Basie classic is a wonderful adaptation for
younger jazz groups. It does its Basie thing with a
light and cool swing feel, includes nice changes in
texture, has brief written or ad lib solos for alto sax
and trumpet 2, and an outstanding shout chorus
with drum fills. Played at 156 bpm, the trumpet
1 range is up to written G on top of the staff,
and optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentations. Great tune, great chart!

Hay Burner—Sammy Nestico. From the
Basie-Straight Ahead album of 1968 featuring
the legendary Count Basie, Harold Jones,
Grover Mitchell, Marshall Royal, and Freddie
Green. Highlights here include a recurring alto
sax/trumpet duet, a sax section soli, trumpet
plungers, piano solos, and an ensemble shout
to take it all home. The rhythm section parts are
partially notated with chords cued. The genius of
Count Basie and Sammy Nestico!

sax, trumpet and trombone and the lead trumpet

H Moanin'—Bobby Timmons/arr. Mark Taylor.

nice moments in the chorus. Written solos are

quality of Mark's arranging on this really lets you
sell it!

My Little Suede Shoes—Charlie Parker/arr.
Mark Taylor. This chart uses a light samba feel

scored tutti ensemble figures are contrasted with

Easy flowing rhythms and modest ranges make
this one easy to learn! A great choice!

Orange Sherbert—Sammy Nestico. Originally
recorded in 1975 by Count Basie and titled
because Basie loved orange sherbert, this fresh
setting features easy registers, strong jazz figures,
and a bright, free swinging style. A written or ad lib
trumpet solo in the midsection and an ensemble
shout before the final chord are highlights. The
rhythm section parts are notated with chords
cued, and a guitar chord chart is included.

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louie Prima/arr. Victor Lopez.
Yep, this is the Sing, Sing, Sing you know and
love, made famous by Gene Krupa and the Benny
Goodman Orchestra, only arranged for young
players by Victor Lopez. The classic drum solo
that can be opened up for as much excitement
as the crowd can stand, along with a written-out
tenor solo, reasonable brass ranges and lots of
meaty ensembles keep this great chart exciting.
It will also sound full with reduced instrumentation
or with the optional, non-jazz band parts. It's still
a showstopper! Highly recommended!
