Megalovania
(from the video game "Undertale")—
Toby Fox/arr. Paul Murtha. Quirky and featuring
a bit of a retro sound, this up-tempo theme is
immediately recognizable to anyone in the gaming
world. Solidly scored with plenty of drive and
excitement, this will definitely add a little fun to any
performance!

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy—
Josef Zawinul/arr. Mike Story.
A must-have chart for every young jazz band!
This classic jazz/rock favorite by Joe Zawinul
is masterfully arranged for young jazz bands
with an easy rock feel by Mike Story. This chart
has a simple written out piano solo, a trumpet 1
range to written D fourth line, a tempo at about
100 beats per minute, and a very catchy melody.
Playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations. It will sound great and it's easy to
play, enough said! Highly recommended!

Mr. Blue Sky—
Jeff Lynne/arr. Roger Holmes.
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!

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.

Pass the Hot Sauce—
Brad Ciechomski.
Ignite an infectious hot Latin groove from the
downbeat! Utilizing authentic traditional rhythms
and repetition, this chart allows your young band
to lock in and turn up the heat! Your students will
experience the rhythmic energy of soca, or soul
calypso, which emphasizes the music's connection
to African-American and Trinidadian traditions.
Moderate ranges make this chart easily playable
across the score. Fun techniques and an open solo
section based on a captivating piano montuno allow
plenty of room to feature your developing soloists.

Sir Duke—
Stevie Wonder/arr. Michael Mossman.
In 1977 Stevie Wonder was in his prime and Sir
Duke was on top of the charts. Michael Philip
Mossman takes this familiar hit and adds his own
unique touch. The opening features the brass with
sax section fills. The middle section goes into a
double-time swing and includes a solo for tenor
sax, a soli for the saxes, and a drum break. All
the familiar lines from the original are there too!
Suggested solos are included along with scale/
chord sheets in all keys. Highly recommended!

Son of the Chicken—Kris Berg.
It's back! This was written for the 20th anniversary
of the original The Chicken, so it's time to celebrate
with this funky fowl! This chart is more accessible
for younger bands, with a chorale intro, written
solos for trumpet and tenor, and lead trumpet range
to written G on top of the staff. It's funky. It's hip.
'Cause everybody loves the Chicken!

Tank!—
Yoko Kanno/arr. John Wasson.
Composed for the Japanese anime television
series Cowboy Bebop, this tune has taken on a life
of its own. John Wasson's driving Latin funk version
was written for his Strata Big Band and recorded on
the album Chronicles. It features the quirky melody,
sizzling brass punches, solo space for alto sax,
and shows off every section of the band. A real
screamer!

Watermelon Man—
Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike Kamuf.
Oh yeah! This is a crowd pleaser and a band
pleaser... a win-win! Fun, funky, hip, groovy — call
it what you want, this chart is excellent in every
way... and if you have a decent bari player, he or
she will really love this one. There are written solos
for alto and tenor sax, a stop-time without rhythm
section for the saxes, a fantastic interlude section, a
monster shout chorus, and some short drum fills...
what's not to like!? Very highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.
