Dat Dere—Bobby Timmons/arr. Erik Morales. A
soulful tune with a catchy title and melody! Erik
Morales captures composer Bobby Timmons'
medium swing groove. At a moderate tempo,
with a slightly mysterious intro, the saxes grab the
melody and it builds from there. A written (or ad
lib) alto solo is provided with a fat shout chorus.
This is an outstanding chart in every respect!
Highly recommended!

drummer Art Blakey, who led one of the most
important groups in jazz history from 1955-1990:

It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That
Swing)—Duke Ellington/arr. Ralph Ford. You
may think this very clever chart is all swing, but it
begins as Latin then alternates with a swing feel.
The tempo is bright at around 190-200 bpm with
suggested solos for trumpet and tenor sax, a few
piano montunos, and a big shout chorus leading to
a huge ending closing this fine chart appropriately.
Additional wind parts and a vibes part are included
for optional expanded instrumentations. Highly
recommended!

well written and include all the details your players will need for a successful performance.

The Last of the Red-Hot Tenors—Rich Woolworth.
As the title suggests, this is a tour de force for your band's hot tenor sax soloist! With a sultry,
greasy, down-home feel, the soloist gets the melody interspersed with melodic statements
from the band. Your bass trombone player also gets to do a bit of showing off. There's a
long improvised section for the soloist to stretch out, then the entire band comes in with a big
ensemble shout chorus. The soloist takes over again to bring it home. Two solo parts are
provided; one totally improvised and one a suggested written-out solo.

century. With its haunting melody and lush chord progression, this ballad treatment of the tune
features your tenor sax soloing through the melody, interspersed with melodic statements from
the rest of the band. The solo section features an ad-lib tenor sax solo before the rest of the band
returns to close out the tune. The lead trumpet plays up to an A just above the staff.
