over big for contest and festival performances,
too! Very highly recommended!

Shutack. This unique original is an ideal change-

solos lead to a percussion break before the head
returns. Pure excitement!

Fernandez. Conveying a sentiment that we can all
relate to, this masterful and poignant bossa nova

11401169 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Un Poco Mas—Paul Baker. Un poco mas - a
little bit more- that's what this chart offers, and it
delivers! Opening with a definitive brass statement,
it settles into a smooth Latin groove before
switching things up with a half-time feel on the
bridge. Returning to Latin, the form finishes and
launches into the solo sections. Both solos can
be successfully navigated using only the concert F
harmonic minor or F blues scales. Written solos are
provided for trumpet and tenor sax. The chart ends
with a roar to the finish line!

Latin Selections
Medium
Afro Blue—Mongo Santamaria/arr. Michael
Mossman. Even though this is scored by Michael
Philip Mossman for just six horns in the Little Big
Band Series, the writing is sophisticated and full
sounding. Written in 3/4, but featuring an Afro-
Cuban 6/8 groove, this marvelous chart includes
solos for tenor or trumpet. Instrumentation: 3
saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, rhythm section
with optional additional parts for alto sax, tenor sax
and trombone.
10074146 Jazz Ensemble
(Little Big Band). . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Afro Blue—Mongo Santamaria/arr. Michael
Mossman. Made famous by John Coltrane, but
treated here in a more traditional Afro-Latin style,
this is something a little different for jazz ensemble.
As with all Mossman charts, the rhythm section is
meticulously notated to ensure the correct style.
The 3/4 pattern throughout draws heavily on
African influences and the melody is masterfully
passed from section to section. A single pentatonic
scale works for the solo section, making this a
wonderful vehicle for involving many soloists.
2478928 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
Blackbird—Lennon & McCartney/arr. Mark Taylor.
The haunting and distinctive Blackbird, from The
Beatles' White Album, is adapted here in a moderate
and soft samba style in the Little Big Band format.
Trumpet and alto sax are featured on the melody and
for written or improvised solos. This creative chart
also has some nice ensemble trades with the drums.
Flexibly scored for three saxes, two trumpets, one
trombone, and four rhythm with optional additional
parts for alto sax, tenor sax and trombone.
10909026 Jazz Ensemble
(Little Big Band). . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Blue Bossa—Kenny Dorham/arr. Mark Taylor.
Sounding full and richly varied, here is a great
six-horn chart on the timeless Kenny Dorham
jazz standard. The melody is first stated by a trio
of trumpet, tenor and guitar followed by the full
ensemble, then solo sections for trumpet and
tenor. Scored for 6 horns (3 saxes, 2 trumpets 1
trombone) plus rhythm section with optional parts
included for alto sax, tenor sax and trombone.
Highly recommended!

(Little Big Band). . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Blue Skies—Irving Berlin/arr. Mark Taylor. Here's
a creative and unique version of this familiar Irving
Berlin standard that alternates between samba and
swing styles. Featuring intricate and effective six
horn scoring with solos for tenor sax and/or guitar,
this is a terrific full-blown production for little big
band. Scored for 6 horns (3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1
trombone) plus rhythm section with optional parts
included for alto sax, tenor sax and trombone.
10374154 Jazz Ensemble
(Little Big Band). . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
The Boulevard—Peter Sciaino. The 1960's
Blue Note era inspired this Latin rock chart that is
bursting with energy and drive. With solos for alto
sax and trumpet, this unique work uses interplay
between the winds along with interesting harmonic
structure to stand out from the crowd.
11393016 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Chili Today, Hot Tamale—Rick Hirsch. A great
title and great chart! Chili Today, Hot Tamale is
set in a samba groove in cut-time at around 90
bpm. It's accessible for a solid easy to medium
grade level, there are written solos for trombone
1 and tenor sax 1, optional parts for expanded
instrumentations, and a trumpet 1 range going to
