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 are contrasted with a straight-ahead
swingin' 4/4 blues, which gives this chart its
unique appeal. There are plenty of opportunities
for your soloists to improvise on 4/4 blues
changes, or with the written 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!

along. It's an "in your face" chart that's all about
attitude!

Autumn Leaves—Joseph Kosma/arr. Peter

nothing "old" sounding about it. It's a medium
swing version of a marvelous, often-played

duet and is filled with tight ensemble punches.

written or ad lib solo for piano.

recommended!

Count Basie classic is a wonderful adaptation for

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
