POP HITS medium-easy
Mr. Blue Sky—Jeff Lynne/arr. Roger Holmes.
Originally released by the Electric Light Orchestra
in 1978, this rock hit has been thrust back into the
limelight thanks to its inclusion on numerous movie
soundtracks, notably the opening sequence of
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2." A great-sounding
chart playable by developing ensembles!

O'Connell/arr. Paul Murtha. Add this Billie Eilish hit
to the growing list of iconic themes from the James
Bond saga. This great-sounding chart features a rock
ballad style with an alto sax soloist in the beginning
and again at the end. Classy and mysterious!

Puttin' on the Ritz—Irving Berlin/arr. Roger
Holmes. Irving Berlin's tuneful standard was put
back on the map with the classic scene from Mel
Brooks' movie "Young Frankenstein." This clever
arrangement alternates between a two-beat feel and
straight-ahead swing featuring solo space for tenor
sax, trumpet, and even a short solo for bass. Fun!
11373889 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Runaway Baby—arr. Paul Murtha. Recorded by
Bruno Mars, this contemporary rock tune is actually
a throwback to an earlier time reminiscent of the
James Brown funk style. Featuring an energetic
pulse that never quits along with a catchy melody,
this chart is a real showstopper! The solo section
includes options for alto, trumpet, or trombone with
suggested solos and scale/chord sheets in all keys.
Pure excitement!
10317268 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Senorita—arr. Paul Murtha. Recorded by
contemporary artists Shawn Mendes with Camila
Cabello, this popular hit has ruled the pop charts with
its seductive Latin style and memorable melodies.
This version for developing players features brief
written or improvised solo spots for alto sax and
trombone and later highlights for all sections.
11172119 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
The Shadow of Your Smile—Johnny Mandel/
arr. Roy Phillippe. Every now and then it comes
along, a ballad so hauntingly beautiful that it may
just be the highlight of your concert! This is one
such gem. After a solo piano introduction, the
familiar minor melody is gently taken up by the
band. Alto sax and trumpet both get solo passages
but, for the most part, it is the ensemble effort that
makes this chart one of the best.
2467744 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Shakey Ground—arr. Paul Murtha. This 1975
tune by the Temptations is one of their later hits,
co-written by Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel and
decidedly funkadelic in style. This chart features the
infectious bass line first stated by baritone sax and
guitar, and later joined by the rest of the ensemble
playing the funky riffs. The solo section on a one-
chord vamp can easily be opened up, but samples
are provided for alto sax, trumpet and trombone.
You will love the way the ensemble layers in near
the ending. Shakey Ground is definitely a fun chart
with attitude!
10617906 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Sweet Home Chicago—Robert Johnson/
arr. Roger Holmes. Made famous by The Blues
Brothers, this hard-hitting blues classic is sure
to become an instant favorite with jazz bands
and audiences. A driving shuffle groove and solid
scoring for the entire ensemble are featured
throughout in this great chart that will become a
staple of your library! Highly recommended!
10343798 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Tea for Two—Vincent Youmans & Irving Caesar/
arr. Mark Taylor. Composed in the 1920s, this
popular melody has been a favorite with jazz artists
ranging from Art Tatum to Ella Fitzgerald. Arranged
here in a slow Basie swing style, this a great
study for full ensemble playing and mastering this
important style.
11401160 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Think—Franklin & White/arr. Paul Murtha. In
the movie "The Blues Brothers," Aretha Franklin
stole the show with her classic performance of
this soulful rocker. It begins with trombones and
then features the entire ensemble in this hot chart
for developing jazz bands. There's a flexible solo
section, however, written sample solos are provided
for alto sax, trumpet and trombone. This exciting
crowd pleaser is highly recommended!
10963308 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Vehicle—James Peterik/arr. Ralph Ford. Here's
a powerhouse arrangement of this rock classic
that will motivate your students and excite your
audiences. It's got plenty of solid full-band writing
as well as sectional solis and trades. Trombone 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!
10011915 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Walk the Dinosaur—arr. John Wasson. This
catchy funk tune was recorded by Was (Not Was)
in 1987, but more recently popularized in pop
culture including the movies "Ice Age: Dawn of
the Dinosaurs," "The Flintstones," and "Super
Mario Bros." This funky version shows why some
tunes just never go out of style. Included is a
suggested solo for tenor sax and the signature
chant "boom, boom, ack-a lack-a lack-a boom."
Pure fun!
10317277 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
We Don't Talk About Bruno—Lin-Manuel
Miranda/arr. Paul Murtha. Here's the popular hit
from Disney's "Encanto" skillfully adapted for young
jazz ensemble. This great-sounding chart features
a moderate Latin groove and short solos (written or
ad lib.) for tenor sax and trombone.
11390086 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
What'd I Say?—Ray Charles/arr. Allen Gray. Ray
Charles. Need we say more? Ranked tenth on Rolling
Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, this soulful
anthem mixes rhumba, rhythm and blues styles for
a chart your audience and your students will really
enjoy. Saxes, trumpet and trombone sections all get
a taste of the melody mixed in with fun horn riffs.
The solo section features a written alto sax solo or
improvised solos for tenor sax, trumpet or trombone.
Next, the chart goes into a call and response chorus
everyone will recognize before igniting into a big
finish with a recap of the main theme. Sparkling,
authentic and highly recommended!
11000497 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .65.00
Wipe Out—arr. Dallas Burke. Your audience will
go wild with this accessible solo feature for your
drummer! This version of Wipe Out plays homage
to the Surfaris' original with plenty of drum solos,
but adds a modern-day sound with dynamic horn
licks. The middle of the chart transitions to a James
Brown-style funk section, then to swing for the solo
section before returning to the original rock groove.
The ultimate crowd-pleaser!
10752093 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .65.00
You're Welcome—Lin-Manuel Miranda/arr.
John Wasson. From the hit movie "Moana,"
this easy-going song adapts beautifully for jazz
ensemble with its tuneful theme and reggae/
shuffle style. The melody is passed around
the ensemble with the saxes, followed by the
trumpets, and then trombones. Also included is
a short written solo for trumpet with a distinctive
stop-time accompaniment.
