Inner Urge—Joe Henderson/arr. Mark Taylor.
Composed by jazz legend Joe Henderson, this
up-tempo burner from Mark Taylor features a
mesmerizing groove and masterful scoring.
The rhythm section sets the groove and then
a trio of tenor, guitar and vibes carries the
melody, while layers of sound are gradually
added creating a powerhouse effect. Solo
space is included for tenor saxophone and
guitar, and there are feature spots for the brass
section and later the saxophones. A great chart
on a great tune!

Lookin' Back!—Lars Erik Gudim. It's time to
burn with this up-tempo swing! The tune is heard
first by a trio of tenor sax, trombone, and guitar
before the full ensemble gives way to a crisp sax
soli with alto 1 doubling on soprano. Solos are
built in for trombone, tenor sax, and drum set.
This tune is written with no holds barred!

Kaper/arr. Gordon Goodwin. Recorded and
released by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat
Band as a digital single, this chart is an
homage to Oscar Peterson. It's a solo feature
including separate solo parts for piano, C
instruments, alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet and
trombone. The tempo is around 250 bpm; the
lead trumpet range is to written high F. Alto
sax 1 doubles soprano sax and alto sax 2
doubles flute. A tour-de-force chart!

Rabble Rouser—Billy Byers. The Count Basie
Orchestra has been doing "barn burner" charts
better than almost any other big band. This Billy
Byers original starts out hot and never cools
down. The tenor saxophone is the chosen
soloist, and the full ensemble writing just keeps
on keepin' on. Talk about lifting your audience
out of their chairs - Wow! This one will do it.

Rhapsody in Blue—George Gershwin/
arr. Gordon Goodwin. This is a tour-de-
force arrangement by Gordon Goodwin of
Gershwins's masterpiece. If you can cut it, then
play it because it will truly warrant a standing
ovation. The sax doubles call for piccolo (alto
1), clarinet/flute (alto 2) and bass clarinet
(bari). The second alto part has the well-known
clarinet solo. This chart has it all...the thematic
material, swing, key changes, solo space for
alto, tenor, bari, trumpet and trombone and lead
trumpet range to written high F. The percussion
part calls for mallets and tympani. Overall, a
grasp of both jazz and classical concepts will
make this chart stand apart from anything else.
As recorded by the Big Phat Band.

The Rotten Kid—Buddy Greco/arr. Dick
Grove. As recorded by the Buddy Rich Big
Band on the album The New One, this great
arrangement is full of fire and energy. Set as
an up-tempo shuffle, it's a wonderful chart
to feature lots of soloists along with dynamic
ensemble writing throughout. There's solo
space for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone
and trombone, allowing each to blow as long as
they would like. In addition, this tune features
a saxophone soli, a short trumpet section soli
(a la Dizzy), and climaxes with a great shout
chorus. The Rotten Kid will be an outstanding
opener or closer for any concert program!

The Send-Off—Pete McGuinness. If you've
got a band full of aces, this chart is for you!
You will need flugelhorns for the entire trumpet
section to get the sound you want to hear.
Winding lines and top-notch ensemble writing
make this chart something special. It is a great
chart for the more advanced big band.

A Shade of Jade—Joe Henderson/arr. Alan
Baylock. This Joe Henderson jazz standard
is a terrific vehicle for more advanced jazz
ensembles with solo space for tenor 1 and
drum set. The lead trumpet range is up to
written high D. At 128 bpm, this hard-swinging
chart cooks every measure. High-energy swing
and first-class writing!

Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/arr. Gordon
Goodwin. A few twists and turns added to the
original Benny Goodman swing version make
this chart a definite crowd and band pleaser.
Gordon Goodwin's arrangement features a
clarinet part and an alternate alto 1 part in lieu
of clarinet. Solo changes are provided for all
saxophone parts and clarinet, and the lead
trumpet range is to high F-sharp. While not
recorded by Goodwin's Big Phat Band, it's a
staple of the band's library and is played often
in live performances. It's a wonderful rendition
of this big band classic!

Skyliner—Charlie Barnet/arr. Sammy Nestico.
As a tribute to Charlie Barnet's signature tune
here is a stunning flag-waver from the master
himself. Sammy joined the Charlie Barnet band
on trombone in 1946, and he specifically chose
this tune to "give it a new suit of clothes." No
solos are required, but this powerhouse chart
features a workout for every section of the
band. Alto Sax 1 doubles on Soprano Sax.

Spain—Chick Corea/arr. John LaBarbera.
This monster arrangement is the authentic
version as recorded by Bill Watrous and his
Manhattan Wildlife Refuge in the mid '70s.
The signature lines and blazing tempo of
Chick Corea's classic are transformed into a
roaring chart for big band by master arranger
John LaBarbera. Alto 1 doubles flute, and alto
2 doubles soprano sax.

this challenging swinger features a moderately
soft intro, a tempo of 162 bpm, solo space for
various instruments, sax section solis, auxiliary
percussion, a big shout chorus, an optional
flute double for alto sax 2, and a lead trumpet
range to high F sharp. Additional sax parts are

know it's great!

Take the 'A' Train—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Rich
DeRosa. Ever heard of Take the 'A' Train?
Not like this you haven't! Another ingenious
arrangement from the towering Rich DeRosa,
this uptempo swing chart is a journey through
creative waters from beginning to end and
will not disappoint. In additional to incredible
ensemble writing, there is improvisation space
for piano and alto saxophone. As recorded by
the University of North Texas One O'Clock
Lab Band on their album Lab 2013, DeRosa's
arrangement of Take the 'A' Train is a must for
any serious band.

Upper Manhattan Medical Group (UMMG)—

superb and includes suggested or improvised
solos for trumpet, tenor sax, and trombone. The
trumpet 1 range is up to written high D-flat and
the tempo swings at around 180 bpm. Section
solis, big ensembles, and a fine shout chorus all
contribute to making this an outstanding chart!

section, and a gospel feel. Flexible solo space
with written solos is provided for trombone 1,

range is to high C. Hey, there's something here
for everyone!
