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

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!

Afternoon—Pat Metheny/arr. Bob Curnow. Here
is a slow, swinging, lovely, warm, relaxed chart in
the style of that famous Neal Hefti swing ballad! The
arrangement is subtle and easy to play, and there
are not a lot of pieces by Pat Metheny that swing
in this way. The arrangement suggests flugelhorns
throughout, although trumpets would work just fine.
There is solo space for alto saxophone and trumpet/
flugel. Very nice!

in Paris in the 1950s and it has remained a jazz

group on the head and drums on brushes. Solos for

scale/chord sheets provided, along with dynamic
full ensemble statements. Highly recommended!

tune is written in the classic Basie swing style with
a focus on staying easy for developing groups.

this chart still brings a catchy melody to hook the
audience in.
11401828 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .65.00
Artistry in Rhythm—Stan Kenton/arr. Paul
Murtha. Composed and recorded by Stan Kenton in
the 1940s, Artistry in Rhythm became his signature
and a true classic from the big-band era. Paul
Murtha has skillfully adapted and truncated this for
younger players while maintaining the flavor and
energy of the original. Solo piano starts things off
followed by the iconic trombone solo in the medium
Latin section. The exciting double time swing section
features the entire ensemble, then the maestoso
theme returns to close things out. Impressive!
10374166 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes—arr. Ralph Ford.
Crazy title? It's from the movie of the same name
and is a tongue-in-cheek swing chart adapted from
a much more difficult chart by Gordon Goodwin
for his Big Phat Band. Arranged by Ralph Ford for
developing players, it will be a hit with both the
band and the audience. No improvised solos, just
ensemble playing and some great section solis.
This will be a fun chart for any performance! Highly
recommended! Optional expanded instrumentation.
10071882 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Attitude Adjustment—Larry Barton. Here's a big,
solid swing-blues chart with attitude! It includes an
open section for the soloists of your choice, with
written suggested solos. An incredibly solid bass
line really holds this chart together and gives it a
feel that is distinctive and powerful! Playable with
limited instrumentation, this will build confidence in
your developing players!

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.
2406361 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Back Online—Gregory Yasinitsky. Don't miss
this swinging, shuffle blues chart for developing
groups that cooks right off the top! Set at about
132 bpm, it features a full and hot saxophone
section soli, a stop-time section leading into the
solo, a written or improvised solo for trumpet,
and a section that comes way down after the
solos that feature the brass and then the full
ensemble. It then opens up and really begins
to swing! Additionally, it can be played with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Back Online is accessible for many bands and is
highly recommended!
