Gassi. Accessible and fun to rehearse and play,

familiar over the decades. Other features include

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.

Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Terry White.
Cannonball Adderley made it famous, brother
Nat composed it and now Terry White provides
a terrific swing chart for younger jazz groups.
It swings hard, features a catchy, easy to play
melody, and is mature sounding. Suggested solos
are provided for alto 1 and trumpet 1, plus there's
a great interlude and shout chorus. Trumpet 1
top note is written F-sharp top line. Playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Highly recommended!

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!

Autumn Leaves—Joseph Kosma/arr. Peter
Blair. This is a great old tune! Except...there's
nothing "old" sounding about it. It's a medium
swing version of a marvelous, often-played
standard that opens with an alto and trumpet duet
and is filled with tight ensemble punches. The
saxes are featured on a chorus and there is a
written or ad lib solo for piano.

Birdland—Josef Zawinul/arr. Rick Stitzel. Joe
Zawinul and Weather Report turned the jazz
world on its ear with this iconic fusion composition
from their 1977 album Heavy Weather. Arranged
here for six horns and rhythm section, this version
retains all the drive and uplifting energy of the
original. Instrumentation: six horns (ATB saxes,
two trumpets, one trombone) plus four rhythm
with optional additional parts for alto, tenor and
trombone. Perfect for smaller programs, or
additional ensemble opportunities!

Buckjump—Andrews & Ballard/arr. John
Wasson. Recorded by Trombone Shorty on
his 2011 album For True and featuring the
Rebirth Brass Band and 5th Ward Weebie,
this hot tune has a funky New Orleans style
groove with a moderate tempo and catchy riffs.
The trombones get the spotlight to start with,
followed by tight ensemble playing and later
space for an improvised or written trombone
solo. This chart is cool, confident and colorful!
Highly recommended!

Cantaloupe Island—Herbie Hancock/arr.
Mike Kamuf. Arranger Mike Kamuf scored this
hip, funky Latin-rock tune for younger players.
Ideal for this level, it features three chords, a
repetitive groove, catchy melody and a hot bari
sax part. There are written solos for tenor sax
and trumpet, and the lead trumpet range goes to
a top line F with optional G on top of the staff.
This chart will also sound great with optional or
expanded instrumentation. This is a superb chart
from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Chameleon—Herbie Hancock/arr. Victor Lopez.
Herbie Hancock for the developing band? Yes!
From Hancock's famous Headhunter recording,
here is a great opportunity to play the biggest
jazz-rock hit of all time. The melody is first
played by alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone,
then the trumpet section. Next up is a flexible,
open solo section with a solo line written for all
the winds so anybody or everyone can solo! The
top note for lead trumpet is written G on top of
the staff. Super-cool chart! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

Cool (from "West Side Story")—Leonard
Bernstein/arr. Mark Taylor. From one of the most
famous musicals of all time, here is the swinging
and aptly titled Cool. Mark Taylor's version for
developing players remains true to the original
but adds a touch of contemporary flair with the
melody passed from section to section and written
or improvised solo space for trumpet. Timeless!

Flight of the Foo Birds—Neal Hefti/arr. Peter
Blair. This Peter Blair chart on the Neal Hefti/
Count Basie classic is a wonderful adaptation for
younger jazz groups. It does its Basie thing with a
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 1 range is up to written G on top of the
staff, and optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentations. Great tune, great chart!

Gonna Fly Now (Theme from "Rocky")—
Bill Conti/arr. Victor Lopez. The theme from
"Rocky" is inspiring, triumphant, powerful
and noble! This rock-style chart is scored for
younger players with the familiar Maynard
Ferguson-flavored solo. The lead trumpet range
is to written A above the staff. It also includes a
written or improvised tenor solo and options for
reduced or expanded instrumentations. Gonna
Fly Now is a great classic that should be in all
jazz ensemble libraries!

Hay Burner—Sammy Nestico. From the Basie-
Straight Ahead album of 1968 featuring the
legendary Count Basie, Harold Jones, Grover
Mitchell, Marshall Royal, and Freddie Green.
Highlights here include a recurring alto sax/
trumpet duet, a sax section soli, trumpet plungers,
piano solos, and an ensemble shout to take it
all home. The rhythm section parts are partially
notated with chords cued. The genius of Count
Basie and Sammy Nestico!

ensemble writing!

The Jazz Police—Gordon Goodwin/arr. Mike
Lewis. This famous Gordon Goodwin jazz-rock
chart hits hard and keeps going at an easier
grade level. The young players will really dig in
on this one and feel like the pros. There are no
individual solos, but plenty of action for everybody
with the solid riffs, infectious rhythms and fun
attitude. Highly recommended!
