Originally released by the Electric Light Orchestra in 1978, this rock hit has been thrust back into the limelight thanks to its inclusion on numerous movie soundtracks, notably the opening sequence of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2." A great-sounding chart playable by developing ensembles! 11172122 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 Paranoid—Black Sabbath/arr. Allen Gray. This epic rock tune from the group Black Sabbath gets a high- energy treatment for jazz band! Get ready to turn the amps up to 11 as the band starts with a big, blowing, up-tempo hard rock intro before the familiar melody kicks in. The solo section features written or ad-lib solos for alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, or trombone before a key change that keeps this chart on fire until the end. Highly accessible, the lead trumpet only plays up to an A above the staff. 11516030 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65.00 Play That Funky Music—Robert Parissi/arr. Victor Lopez. Fun and excitement will be had by all with this riff-based classic funk chart!

Keep the funky juices flowing! 10011938 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 Puttin' on the Ritz—Irving Berlin/arr. Roger Holmes. Irving Berlin's tuneful standard was put back on the map with the classic scene from Mel Brooks' movie "Young Frankenstein." This clever arrangement alternates between a two-beat feel and straight-ahead swing featuring solo space for tenor sax, trumpet, and even a short solo for bass. Fun! 11373889 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 Runaway Baby—arr. Paul Murtha. Recorded by Bruno Mars, this contemporary rock tune is actually a throwback to an earlier time reminiscent of the James Brown funk style.

Pure excitement! 10317268 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 September—Maurice White, Al McKay & Allee Willis/ arr. Paul Murtha.
