JAZZ ROCK & FUNK
A Star Stolen from the Night Sky—Kaori
Nakano. The melancholy nature of this slow funk
tune scored for smaller instrumentation is sure to
bring an emotional balance to any exciting concert
program. Plenty of opportunities for your lead
soloists to soar.

Stingray—Chris Sharp. Young bands will love
this original jazz-rock composition that features
written-out solos in the tenor sax 1 and trumpet
1 parts.

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!

Tofu Cheesecake—Jamie Roth. From the
brassy intro to the final flashy ending, this one
is funk through and through. The main tune is
presented in crunchy two-part horn writing with
alto saxophone and trumpet leading the way.
Think David Sanborn and Randy Brecker.

Unleash the Chicken—Kris Berg. Oh yeah, a
funky New Orleans groove garnished with chicken
flavor! The lead trumpet range is to written G on
top of the staff and includes suggested written
solos for tenor sax and trombone. It's a very
accessible writing that will please.
11511957 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . ME 52.00
Uptown Funk!—arr. Michael Sweeney. From
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, this monster hit is
the perfect throwback to a funky R&B style! This
arrangement for younger players features modest
ranges and repetitive yet authentic-sounding
rhythms. This outstanding chart is playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations,
and the bass lines and piano voicings are written.
No solos are required, just a little attitude! Our
highest recommendation!

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.

Wayfaring Stranger—arr. Tim Waters. Young
ensembles will love this cool medium-tempo
bossa nova rock version of the classic gospel
tune. Featuring an easy groove in the rhythm
section and limited ranges and rhythms, this chart
still manages to excite and rock hard! The solo
section features space for written or ad-lib solos
for alto sax, tenor sax, or trumpet.
11572331 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . E 55.00
Whiplash—Hank Levy/arr. Erik Morales.
Featured in the 2014 movie "Whiplash,"
depicting the relationship between an ambitious
student musician and an abusive, yet respected
instructor, this chart is a super-exciting work in
7/4 composed by Hank Levy and arranged by
Erik Morales. Don't be intimidated by the meter...
it's challenging, but after a few minutes it feels
quite natural and the students will totally groove
on it. The melody is stated by 2nd trumpet and
1st alto with solo space for both on easy chord
changes. Articulation is critical and the rhythm
section may want to spend some quality time
together. The lead trumpet range is to written
D above the staff. This is a unique but very
desirable chart to have in your library. You won't
regret playing Whiplash!
10068794 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . MA 60.00
The Ziggy Strut—Mark Taylor. This killer
funk chart has everything your advanced
jazz ensemble is looking for: unbelievably
hip melodies, an infectiously grooving rhythm
section, and tight horn licks. A brief 7/8 section
is a witty addition. Great feature for your bass
player. Lead trumpet plays high D, and lead
bone plays high A-flat.
