JAZZ
ENSEMBLE
The Chicken—Alfred James Ellis/arr. Kris
Berg. If you've got a strong bassist, this is your
showstopper! This chart, made famous by bass
virtuoso Jaco Pastorius, gets kicking with a killer
gospel chorale, but is soon interrupted by one of
the funkiest bass lines ever played! Soon the entire
band is in on it with a Tower of Power-style sound
that is sure to impress everyone listening!

Crunchy Frog—Gordon Goodwin. Bass and
guitar kick off this original Gordon Goodwin chart
with a captivating rhythmic pattern before the full
ensemble settles in with the funky melody. There's
plenty of ensemble writing, some in unison and
some in harmony, and solo space for all winds
with suggested or improv solos. The lead trumpet
range goes to written G-sharp on top of the
staff, the tempo is around 115 beats per minute,
and optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentations. This is accessible Gordon
Goodwin material that is right in the pocket for this
grade level! Our highest recommendation!

rhythm section with this getaway to Curacao! Built
on an easy Latin groove and moderate tempo, this

leaving the band room. Featuring a written tenor
solo, this piece has clear notation for your rhythm
section and reserved ranges for the winds while
still bringing a fun groove.

Drama for Your Mama—Victor Lopez. This fun
rock chart for beginners has all the right stuff...
easy rhythms and ranges, and a solo section that's
completely notated for all the winds. The solos
can also be played as unisons in any combination
of instruments or sections. Playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentations, it's easy to
put together, very effective and has great appeal
for the young player. Highly recommended!

Hooked on a Feeling—Mark James/
arr. Rick Stitzel. Recorded by the rock band
Blue Swede in the 1970s, this catchy hit enjoyed
renewed popularity thanks to the blockbuster
movie "Guardians of the Galaxy." This very easy
jazz version features question-and-answer phrases
between sections of the band, requires no solos,
and is playable with optional expanded or reduced
instrumentations.

arr. Stephen Bulla. Mix the stylish spy music from
the 1960s with a dose of cool jazz and you have
a winning combination for jazz ensemble. From
the Pixar hit animated movie, here's a high-energy
and entertaining chart that captures the essence
of the soundtrack perfectly, with three themes
from the movie that offer a ton of variety and
entertainment! A middle section in a jazz waltz
style is framed by exciting rock styles that will
be appealing to both audiences and developing
players. Highly recommended!

add a little fun to any performance!

by Joe Zawinul is masterfully arranged for young
jazz bands with an easy rock feel by Mike Story.
This chart has a simple written out piano solo,
a trumpet 1 range to written D fourth line, a
tempo at about 100 beats per minute, and a very
catchy melody. Playable with optional reduced

great and it's easy to play, enough said! Highly
recommended!

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!

Sir Duke—Stevie Wonder/
arr. Michael Mossman. In 1977 Stevie Wonder
was in his prime and Sir Duke was on top of
the charts. Michael Philip Mossman takes this
familiar hit and adds his own unique touch. The
opening features the brass with sax section fills.
The middle section goes into a double-time swing
and includes a solo for tenor sax, a soli for the
saxes, and a drum break. All the familiar lines from
the original are there too! Suggested solos are
included along with scale/chord sheets in all keys.
Highly recommended!

Son of the Chicken—Kris Berg. It's back!
This was written for the 20th anniversary of the
original The Chicken, so it's time to celebrate with
this funky fowl! This chart is more accessible for
younger bands, with a chorale intro, written solos
for trumpet and tenor, and lead trumpet range to
written G on top of the staff. It's funky. It's hip.
'Cause everybody loves the Chicken!
11355024 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . E 48.00
Watermelon Man—Herbie Hancock/
arr. Mike Kamuf. Oh yeah! This is a crowd pleaser
and a band pleaser... a win-win! Fun, funky,
hip, groovy — call it what you want, this chart is
excellent in every way... and if you have a decent
bari player, he or she will really love this one. There
are written solos for alto and tenor sax, a stop-time
without rhythm section for the saxes, a fantastic
interlude section, a monster shout chorus, and
some short drum fills... what's not to like!?
Very highly recommended! Optional expanded
instrumentation.
