POP CHARTS
The Pink Panther —Henry Mancini/arr. Paul Murtha.
Instantly recognizable by all, here is one of the all-
time great movie themes in a masterful arrangement
for younger players. Paul Murtha does a great job of
capturing the authentic sound of Mancini's classic
from the familiar bass line, smooth tutti passages, and
solo section for tenor sax or trumpet. It doesn't get
any better than this! Suggested solos and scale/chord
sheets in all keys are included. Optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Includes CD.

Summertime (from "Porgy and Bess")—arr. Paul
Murtha. An enduring Gershwin classic that has long
been a favorite with jazz artists, this marvelous setting
for young players features a sultry Latin rock groove,
tasty harmonies, easy rhythms, and no solos required.
A great feature number for the entire ensemble.

Superstition—Stevie Wonder/arr. Paul Murtha.
Stevie Wonder helped bring funk to mainstream
pop music in the '70s, and this is one of his most
recognizable hits. This arrangement is easy to learn
yet maintains the authentic groove of the original.
Playable by standard jazz ensemble instrumentation,
it will also sound full and complete with 4 saxes, 3
trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm. Optional parts
included for flute, 2 clarinets, horn in F and tuba.
Highly recommended!

Sweet Caroline—Neil Diamond/arr. Rick Stitzel.
Even before the TV series Glee, this Neil Diamond
classic, first recorded in 1969, had proven its
popularity and staying power. Here is a solid, yet easy
treatment for jazz ensemble that requires no solos.
Sure to be a favorite with students and parents alike!
Optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.

Lin-Manuel Miranda/arr. Rick Stitzel. From the hit
movie "Encanto," here's an easy version of the song
everyone is talking about! The rhythms and ranges are
expertly adapted for beginning groups, and no solos
are required.

M E D I U M - E ASY
Africa—Paich & Porcaro/arr. Ralph Ford. Here's a
wonderful take on the group Toto's classic rock tune
from the '80s. It's solidly scored throughout and
sounds amazingly like the original while remaining
accessible for developing jazz bands. With nice
dynamic contrasts, an uncomplicated melodic line,
and a medium rock groove, this chart is one that
younger players can really dig into, yet it will sound
mature when performed by a more advanced group.
More features include: half-note tempo of 90 bpm;
written or ad lib solos for alto sax 1 and trombone
1; trumpet 1 range to written G on top of the staff;
and optional parts for flute, clarinet and vibes. Great
tune, fine chart!

The Bare Necessities (from "The Jungle Book")
—arr. John Wasson. From "The Jungle Book," this
timeless classic appeared in the original movie as
well as the repeated blockbuster hit. With a jaunty
2-beat swing style and well-known melody, this
one is impossible not to like. This carefully crafted
arrangement requires no solos, but features every
section of the band with the trombones first, followed
by the saxes and finally trumpets. Smart, stylish and
pure fun!

Bridge Over Troubled Water—Paul Simon/arr.
Paul Baker. Paul Simon's soulful rock ballad is set
here at 88 bpm, and as arranged by Paul Baker is
sure to please! The melody is first stated by trumpet
2 and tenor sax, there are no improvised solos, and
the trumpet 1 range is to written G on top of the staff.
This chart also features great dynamic contrasts
and a satisfying vamp toward the end. Optional
wind and vibes parts are included for expanded
instrumentations. Highly recommended!

Careless Whisper—arr. Dave Mills. This funky pop
rock ballad by George Michael has captured the
hearts of a new generation and your students and
audiences will instantly recognize the hook. The solo
section features adlib or improvised solos for alto
sax, trumpet and trombone. Optional parts for flute,
clarinet and horn in F are included for expanded
instrumentation. With some nice ensemble writing and
a chance for all the sections to shine with the melody,
this chart will make a nice change-of-pace for your
next concert!
