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. 2406361 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 5671722 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 H Birdland—Josef Zawinul/arr. Rick Stitzel. Joe Zawinul and Weather Report turned the jazz world on its ear with this iconic fusion composition from their 1977 album Heavy Weather. Arranged here for six horns and rhythm section, this version retains all the drive and uplifting energy of the original. Instrumentation: six horns (ATB saxes, two trumpets, one trombone) plus four rhythm with optional additional parts for alto, tenor and trombone. Perfect for smaller programs, or additional ensemble opportunities! 10617894 Jazz Ensemble (Little Big Band). . . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 10617895 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 H 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! 10556780 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 10556781 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 H Cantaloupe Island—Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike Kamuf. Arranger Mike Kamuf scored this hip, funky Latin-rock tune for younger players. Ideal for this level, it features three chords, a repetitive groove, catchy melody and a hot bari sax part. There are written solos for tenor sax and trumpet, and the lead trumpet range goes to a top line F with optional G on top of the staff. This chart will also sound great with optional or expanded instrumentation. This is a superb chart from beginning to end. Highly recommended! 10028077 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 10028078 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 H Chameleon—Herbie Hancock/arr. Victor Lopez. Herbie Hancock for the developing band? Yes! From Hancock's famous Headhunter recording, here is a great opportunity to play the biggest jazz-rock hit of all time. The melody is first played by alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone, then the trumpet section. Next up is a flexible, open solo section with a solo line written for all the winds so anybody or everyone can solo! The top note for lead trumpet is written G on top of the staff. Super-cool chart! Optional expanded instrumentation. 10071885 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 10071989 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 H 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! 10513893 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 10513894 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 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 10028092 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 H 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! 544684 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 10084644 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.50 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 10297518 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 H The Jazz Police—Gordon Goodwin/arr. Mike Lewis. This famous Gordon Goodwin jazz- rock chart hits hard and keeps going at an easier grade level. The young players will really dig in on this one and feel like the pros. There are no individual solos, but plenty of action for everybody with the solid riffs, infectious rhythms and fun attitude. Highly recommended! 10011885 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42.00 10011887 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00 H Jumpin' at the Woodside—Count Basie/ arr. Rich DeRosa. This one just builds and builds! Rich DeRosa keeps this Count Basie signature tune swinging all the way and includes two optional tag endings to keep the Basie style intact. The solos are written out for piano, tenor sax, trumpet and trombone and the lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff with an A on the optional tag ending. Optional parts are included for expanded instrumentation. One of the Count's finest! 10028198 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 10028199 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . 12.00 H My Funny Valentine—Richard Rodgers/arr. Mike Smukal. Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart gave the jazz world this beautiful ballad, and arranger Mike Smukal sets it as a lush trumpet or flugelhorn solo feature. The entire solo is notated and can effectively be performed with no improvisation. It also features a wonderful double-time section with everything written out, easy ranges, some nice substitute chords and lush harmonies. This arrangement includes optional parts for flute, horn in F, baritone and tuba. This is an exceptional chart at an accessible level! Highly recommended! 10049705 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 10049706 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 H Running of the Bulls—Doug Beach & George Shutack. This unique original is an ideal change- of-pace tune for your next festival or concert program. For developing ensembles, it opens with a mysterious, Spanish style rubato introduction with solo trumpet and rhythm section, then breaks into an all-out, hot Latin/Spanish style that doesn't let up. Crisp ensemble work and written or improvised solos lead to a percussion break before the head returns. Pure excitement! 10093888 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 10093891 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00 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!
