Crazy Train—arr. Paul Murtha. Ozzy Osbourne's
biggest hit makes a hard-hitting rock chart for
beginning jazz groups. Written in a moderate
tempo and with plenty of tutti scoring, this one is

few as 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, piano,
bass and drums.

Stitzel. Popular again thanks to the recent

from the Broadway musical "The Roar of the
Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd." This bluesy
arrangement requires no solos, but gives each
section of the ensemble a chance to be featured.

instrumentations. Highly recommended!

Van Morrison's hit is a natural for jazz ensemble.
Now for bands at the easy level, this minor-
key swinger is incredibly hip! The captivating
melody moves through the sections of the band,
sometimes in unison, sometimes in harmony, and
the solo section is written for all the wind players,
so you can have anyone or everyone play the
written or ad lib solo. This tune is a perennial
favorite with jazz lovers!

groove of the original. Playable by standard jazz
ensemble instrumentation, it will also sound
full and complete with 4 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3
trombones and rhythm. Optional parts included

recommended!

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, but before long the full band is
jamming along. It's an "in your face" chart that's
all about attitude!

H Africa—Paich & Porcaro/arr. Ralph Ford. Here's
a wonderful take on the group Toto's classic rock
tune from the '80s. It's solidly scored throughout
and sounds amazingly like the original while
remaining accessible for developing jazz bands.
With nice dynamic contrasts, an uncomplicated
melodic line, and a medium rock groove, this
chart is one that younger players can really dig
into, yet it will sound mature when performed by
a more advanced group. More features include:
half-note tempo of 90 bpm; written or ad lib solos
for alto sax 1 and trombone 1; trumpet 1 range to
written G on top of the staff; and optional parts for
flute, clarinet and vibes. Great tune, fine chart!
