montuno allow plenty of room to feature your
developing soloists.

Phat Tuesday—Peter Sciaino. To quote the
composer, "I was going for a New Orleans vibe
... like a Dirty Dozen Brass Band sort of thing, but
it went J.B. Horns [James Brown] style at some
point." That beautifully sums it up - searing horn
lines and a cooking rhythm section. Written solos
for tenor sax and trumpet.

Red Clay—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf.
A gem of a chart, here's Freddie Hubbard's
Red Clay arranged for developing jazz bands.
Characteristically, it's a straight-eighths groove
at 132 bpm with written or ad lib solos for tenor
sax and trumpet 2. A more subtle and quieter
interlude adds variety and interest, and a unique
and effective rhythm section break featuring
the bassist leads to the return of the head. The
trumpet 1 range is to written G on top of the staff
and a nice shout chorus further adds to the fun.
Playable with optional expanded instrumentations.
A great jazz standard superbly arranged!

rhythmic interplay to create an infectious groove.
Perfect for festival programming, this bold piece
will wow the adjudicators and set your band apart.
