Someone to Watch over Me—George Gershwin/
arr. Ellen Rowe. You can't go wrong with George
Gershwin, and this masterful arrangement has
done a spectacular job of taking the genius
melody of this classic tune and crafting a subtle
and sophisticated chart. The arrangement moves
from a straight eighth-note feel to a jazz waltz
before melting into a lovely bossa. Everything
about this chart just feels perfect.

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.

Take Five—Paul Desmond/arr. Rich DeRosa.
Perhaps the most famous time chart of all, Take
Five is in 5/4 - but the rhythmic pattern is clear and
consistent throughout. You'll find this arrangement
very accessible, with easy alto sax and drum solos
plus modest brass ranges. This chart features a
more laid-back style than the original and is sure
to be just as important today as was in the 1960s.
Recommended for every jazz enthusiast!

Terminally Hip—Gordon Goodwin. Yes, it's hip!
A clever, swinging treatment of a catchy tune
played around 150 bpm. Lead trumpet range is to
written B above the staff, the solo section includes
suggested solos written for C, B-flat, E-flat, and
trombone players: your choice. The shout chorus
features drums trading with the ensemble.
Optional parts include flute and vibes. (5:20)

Things Ain't What They Used to Be—Mercer
Ellington/arr. Alan Baylock. Mercer Ellington's
classic blues shuffle gets the Baylock treatment!
The style is down home and the solos are for alto,
trumpet, trombone, and tenor sax. Also included
is a powerful Baylock-style shout chorus and
optional parts for expanded instrumentations. It's a
fun chart and it gets our highest recommendation!

This Could Be the Start of Something Big—
Steve Allen. This one burns! With clever shifts
from swing to samba, trombone section features,
hard swinging figures, a hip sax soli, and huge
ensemble shouts, this one is the perfect showcase

sax, tenor sax, trombone, and drums.

The Upsweep—Alan Baylock. This very hip, funky
rock chart has a driving groove played around 92
bpm. Solos are provided for trombone 1 and alto
1. Lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the
staff. This chart will really work best with electric
bass and piano. The band will dig it! (4:15)

Uptown Swing!—Mark Taylor. Designed as
a flashy showpiece that features every section
of the band, this uptempo burner is the perfect
opener! After the attention-getting intro the rhythm
section starts things off then passes the baton to
the trombone section. (A short interlude separates
each feature spot, so plug in an announcer if you
like!) The sax section shows its stuff followed by
the trumpets. A short drum solo leads to the final
full band chorus where everything comes together.
This gets any concert off to an exciting start!

Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Erik Morales.
Wow! If Nat Adderley could hear this chart on his
iconic jazz standard, he would be pleased! The
first statement stays very close to the original,
which is a good thing. The solos are for written
or improvised alto and trumpet, and the solo
backgrounds are simply wonderful. This swinger
plays well at about 176 bmp, has excellent full-
ensemble passages, a bari sax and rhythm
section break before the last chorus, an exciting
shout chorus, and great development. This chart
has it all! Our highest recommendation!

The Last of the Red-Hot Tenors—Rich Woolworth. As the title suggests, this is a tour de
force for your band's hot tenor sax soloist! With a sultry, greasy, down-home feel, the soloist gets
the melody interspersed with melodic statements from the band. Your bass trombone player also
gets to do a bit of showing off. There's a long improvised section for the soloist to stretch out, then
the entire band comes in with a big ensemble shout chorus. The soloist takes over again to bring
it home. Two solo parts are provided; one totally improvised and one a suggested written-out solo.

Stardust—Hoagy Carmichael/arr. Dave Mills.
This Hoagy Carmichael standard from has remained a staple for jazz musicians for almost a
century. With its haunting melody and lush chord progression, this ballad treatment of the tune
features your tenor sax soloing through the melody, interspersed with melodic statements from
the rest of the band. The solo section features an ad-lib tenor sax solo before the rest of the band
returns to close out the tune. The lead trumpet plays up to an A just above the staff.
