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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Recorded most recently by Michael Buble, here

any vocalist!

1 is featured for a chorus with a written-out solo
and a brief cadenza, and the lead trumpet range
is up to an optional written A. This is a must-have
rock chart that is highly recommended!

Kamuf. Oh yeah! This is a crowd pleaser and a
band pleaser... a win-win! Fun, funky, hip, groovy
— call it what you want, this chart is excellent in
every way... and if you have a decent bari player,
he or she will really love this one. There are
written solos for alto and tenor sax, a stop-time
without rhythm section for the saxes, a fantastic
interlude section, a monster shout chorus,
and some short drum fills... what's not to like!?
Very highly recommended! Optional expanded
instrumentation.
