BLUES & SWING
C-Jam Blues—Duke Ellington/arr. Rick Stitzel.
An amazingly simple melody has been skillfully
dressed up with counterlines and solid scoring
for the little big band format. Solos are provided
for alto sax and trumpet, but with the easy blues
changes, anyone can take a shot at and be
successful with an improvised solo.

Caravan—Duke Ellington/arr. Michael Sweeney.
Everyone will recognize this Duke Ellington
classic! It was one of the featured works in the
2014 movie "Whiplash" and uses interesting
textures and alternates between a Latin groove
and swing. This is a very effective production
number with limited technical demands for
young players.

Filling in for Buddy—Doug Beach. As you can
guess by the title, this chart is a hard-swinging
tune that shows off your drummer - and it's highly
accessible to even developing ensembles. Great
scoring, comfortable ranges, and hard-swinging
figures that lay perfectly on each instrument make
this piece sound full. Additional solo opportunities
for trumpet and piano.

Get Lost—Colin M. Plank. A hip and easy swing
chart based around the changes and groove to
Hit the Road, Jack. Catchy themes, solid scoring,
and hip rhythmical figures make this a nice and
accessible chart for young jazz bands that is
great for teaching the fundamentals of swing and
ensemble playing. Written solos for alto sax, tenor
sax, and drum set.

The Neighbor from Naylor—Bryan Carter. This
hard-grooving shuffle with incredibly hip writing
will showcase all aspects of a well-developed
jazz ensemble, from the hard-hitting brass
figures to the driving rhythm section grooves
to the dazzling sax solis. Solo changes for alto
and tenor sax, trumpet, and trombone as well as
drum solo features.

No Harm/No Fowl—Kris Berg. Kris Berg's
annual chicken chart has arrived! It's a very
accessible rock groove played around 146 bpm
and features written-out solo opportunities for all
saxes and all brass along with a lead trumpet
range that lets your player show off within a
comfortable range. This chart has a catchy
melody, is fun to play, and will please the band
and the audience!

No Way Out—George Shutack. Here's a hip and
accessible blues tune with a Latin groove scored
perfectly for beginning jazz ensembles. Creative
scoring produces a repetitive bass groove that is
playable without becoming tiresome, and quality
unison writing makes for great ensemble playing.
Playable with two trumpets and two trombones.
Highly recommended!

Soft and Easy—Terry White. Aptly named, this
laid-back swing ballad is a wonderful way to
introduce young musicians to this iconic Basie
style. Once your band can play an accent on the
"and" of one and "fat" (not rushed!) quarter notes
on beats three and four, they will be well on their
way to sounding great playing music in this style.

Take a Hike—Kris Berg. This swingin' jazz
piece is inspired by the Ferde Grofé composition
On the Trail from the "Grand Canyon Suite."
After a short alto sax solo, there is a cool unison
line for the band with just light accompaniment
from the drums.
