JAZZ
ENSEMBLE
BLUES & SWING
Minor Meltdown—Terry White. There's nothing
minor about this medium-tempo swing tune
except the key. There is space for written or ad-lib
solos for tenor sax and trumpet. Lots of swinging
ensemble riffs weave through this sizzling chart to
keep things exciting. This tune grooves hard from
start to finish!

Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Andrew Homzy.
Here's a playable yet very effective arrangement
of this signature Mingus composition. The familiar
baritone sax riff is handled by three saxes, and
there is also a substantial soli for the entire
saxophone section. Optional parts are included
for flute, clarinet and French horn. A terrific
introduction to the genius of Mingus!

Nowhere but Here—Annie Booth. There's a funky
groove with some powerful dynamic contrasts
throughout this original. Played at 142 bpm, a
suggested tenor 1 solo is provided, followed by
an interlude that builds right into the finale. Lead
trumpet range is to written B-flat above the staff.
Includes the usual optional parts plus vibes and
flute. (4:00)

On Point!—Steve Briody. Your students will love
this swinging chart featuring hip sax solis, great
brass figures, and even a guitar feature. Open
solos for saxes, trumpets, and trombone.

Out of the Doghouse—Erik Morales. Arranger/
composer Erik Morales delivers! This outstanding
shuffle chart sounds like a big old freight train
coming down the tracks, and it just builds and
builds! There's a wonderful section after the
optional solos that features a powerful sax soli
without the rhythm section, and there are great
breaks for piano and drums throughout. There
are also some independent bari sax lines and
optional written solos for alto, tenor and guitar.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above the
staff and there's an optional ending with lead
trumpet notes up to C. This is a hot chart! Our
highest recommendation! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

Puttin' on the Ritz—Irving Berlin/arr. Chris Sharp.
The Irving Berlin classic gets the Sing, Sing, Sing
treatment here. Let your drummer shine on this
fun romp!

Rampart Street Revival (Come Thou Fount
of Every Blessing)—arr. Kris Berg. This New
Orleans-style treatment of the popular hymn song
is hip, fresh, and irresistible. Solo opportunities for
alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, and trombone.

Shiny Stockings—Frank Foster/arr. Greg
Yasinitsky. Frank Foster's composition Shiny
Stockings is one of the greatest jazz tunes ever
for big band. Arranged by Greg Yasinitsky and
scored at an accessible level, this chart has
all the ingredients you expect plus a few short
section solis and an ensemble shout chorus. This
arrangement stays very close to the original, yet
is more accessible for developing groups. Other
features include a written solo for 2nd trumpet
with the lead trumpet range to written A above
the staff. This Basie classic belongs in every jazz
library! Highly recommended! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/trans. Mike Lewis.
Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable swing
tune of all time! This incredible transcription is
as close as you're going to come to the original
(which included clarinet and less than a full
compliment of brass). This chart is scored for a
standard 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and
rhythm, but aside from that, it is the original as
played by Benny Goodman. Every lick is there,
including all the Gene Krupa drum breaks! This
chart is a must for every big band's library!
2411486 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . 62.00
Sioux Center Shuffle—Greg Yasinitsky. This
grooving shuffle has it all! Fun stop-time sections
bookend a roaring saxophone soli. There is a
wonderful soft passage for the saxes and trumpets
following the solo section, which builds slowly to a
swinging-out chorus.

Sweet Georgia Brown—Ben Bernie & Maceo Pinkard/arr. Mark Taylor.
There are some jazz standards that just never seem to go out of style. Here's an exceptional
arrangement for vocal soloist in a medium swing style. The chart features inventive
accompaniment figures from the band, a brief sax soli, and a shout chorus filled with dramatic
contrasts in dynamics. This one is fun for the band as well as the singer.

When You Wish Upon a Star Vocal Solo with Jazz C Major—
Ned Washington & Leigh Harline/arr. Chuck Israels. Using a comfortable moderate swing
style, this masterful setting opens with the full ensemble, then gives way to solo space for tenor
sax. A key change announces the entrance of the vocalist who takes us the rest of the way out.
Tender and very effective!
