BLUES & SWING medium-easy
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!

Four—Miles Davis/arr. Mark Taylor. In the
skilled hands of Mark Taylor, this medium up-
tempo jazz standard from Miles Davis works
perfectly in this six horn, little big band format.
Carefully using the combination of saxes and
brass to full advantage, this one swings hard
from start to finish! Included are suggested
solos for alto sax and guitar along with chord/
scale sheets in all keys. Instrumentation:
3 Saxes; 2 Trumpets, 1 Trombone plus
Rhythm Section. For flexibility, optional parts
are included for Alto and Tenor Saxes and
Trombone. Highly recommended!

The Frim Fram Sauce—arr. John Wasson.
Although composed primarily as a novelty song
and famously recorded by Nat King Cole in the
1940s, this catchy tune has established itself
as a standard recorded by such artists as Ella
Fitzgerald (with Louis Armstrong), Les Brown,
and more recently Diana Krall. This version
for developing players honors the original
style and includes a few contemporary twists
with solos included for trumpet and trombone.
Super nice!

Georgia on My Mind—Hoagy Carmichael/arr.
Mike Tomaro. Made popular by Ray Charles,
but recorded by countless artists through the
years, Hoagy Carmichael's beloved classic
is instantly recognizable. This chart for little
big band features a slow and bluesy swing
style with solos for alto sax and trombone.
Instrumentation: ATB Saxes; 2 Trumpets, 1
Trombone and rhythm section with optional
parts included for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax and
Trombone. Highly recommended!

Greasy Sack Blues—Don Radar & Woody
Herman/arr. Paul Murtha. Made famous by
Woody Herman's Thundering Herd, here is a
marvelous adaptation for developing players by
Paul Murtha! Following the opening chorus for
piano, the trumpets state the main theme with
answers from the trombones and a counterline
in the saxes. The solo section is flexible for
any player, but sample solos are provided for
trumpet and alto sax. The final ensemble chorus
starts softly and builds to a climatic ending with
plenty of attitude! Highly recommended!

Groovin' High—Dizzy Gillespie/arr. Rick Stitzel.
One of the bebop classics that defined an era,
Groovin' High arranged here by Rick Stitzel is a
great introduction to the music of Dizzy Gillespie
for developing players. With careful attention to
ranges and tempo, this chart is very playable
and features written or ad lib solo spots for
trumpet and alto. Highly recommended!

figures. A wonderful chart that can be put
together with minimal rehearsal time. Solos for
alto sax, trumpet, trombone, and drum set.

Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of
Savannah)—Milton Ager/arr. Mark Taylor.
Arranged in a medium swing Basie style, this
sultry chart is a terrific feature for a trumpet
soloist. There are plenty of tasty ensemble
accompaniment figures along the way, and
the solo part is completely written out. A fun
change of pace!

lines are provided. Also included is a guitar
chord chart. This appealing chart is playable

for flute, clarinet, horn in F, tuba and vibes for
expanded instrumentations. No tricks here!

of Count Basie and Sammy Nestico!
