Crisis—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf. The
entire ensemble gets a workout on this highly
creative chart! The overriding style is driving swing
alternating with some Latin statements of the
melody. Suggested solos are included for trombone,
tenor, trumpet, and guitar or optional alto sax, but
improvised solos are welcome. The tempo is 164-
172 bpm, the lead trumpet range is to written B
above the staff, and there's a roaring shout chorus.
Optional parts are included for flute and vibes. This
chart will be a highlight on any program!

Feeling Good—Bricusse & Newley/arr. Dallas
Burke. This Bricusse and Newley Broadway classic
has enjoyed immense popularity since the version
recorded by Michael Buble. This chart begins with
with an epic and swingin' full-ensemble section
reminiscent of the Buble version. There's a sultry
trumpet solo before the band cranks into an
uptempo Latin groove featuring room for soloists
and lots of inventive horn lines. The chart goes back
to the original swing style to bring the house down
for a big ending! Highly recommended!

Giddyup!—Rick Hirsch. Better big bands will have
a great time with this chart that features a catchy,
upbeat swing groove with a hip-hop vibe. There
are idiomatic melodic and rhythmic themes in all
the horn sections which keep returning, thanks to
a uniquely modified rondo form. The improvised
solos are scored for tenor and trombone and the
brass ranges are moderate for this difficulty level.
Come on, let's go!
