Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Terry White.
Cannonball Adderley made it famous, brother
Nat composed it and now Terry White provides
a terrific swing chart for younger jazz groups. It
swings hard, features a catchy, easy to play
melody, and is mature sounding. Suggested solos
are provided for alto 1 and trumpet 1, plus there's
a great interlude and shout chorus. Trumpet 1
top note is written F-sharp top line. Playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Highly recommended!

Autumn Leaves—Joseph Kosma/arr. Peter Blair.
This is a great old tune! Except...there's nothing
"old" sounding about it. It's a medium swing
version of a marvelous, often-played standard
that opens with an alto and trumpet duet and is
filled with tight ensemble punches. The saxes are
featured on a chorus and there is a written or ad
lib solo for piano.

Buckjump—Andrews & Ballard/arr. John Wasson.
Recorded by Trombone Shorty on his 2011 album
For True and featuring the Rebirth Brass Band
and 5th Ward Weebie, this hot tune has a funky
New Orleans style groove with a moderate tempo
and catchy riffs. The trombones get the spotlight to
start with, followed by tight ensemble playing and
later space for an improvised or written trombone
solo. This chart is cool, confident and colorful!
Highly recommended!

Cantaloupe Island—Herbie Hancock/arr.
Mike Kamuf. Arranger Mike Kamuf scored this
hip, funky Latin-rock tune for younger players.
Ideal for this level, it features three chords, a
repetitive groove, catchy melody and a hot bari
sax part. There are written solos for tenor sax
and trumpet, and the lead trumpet range goes
to a top line F with optional G on top of the staff.
This chart will also sound great with optional or
expanded instrumentation. This is a superb chart
from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Chameleon—Herbie Hancock/arr. Victor Lopez.
Herbie Hancock for the developing band? Yes!
From Hancock's famous Headhunter recording,
here is a great opportunity to play the biggest
jazz-rock hit of all time. The melody is first played
by alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone, then the
trumpet section. Next up is a flexible, open solo
section with a solo line written for all the winds so
anybody or everyone can solo! The top note for
lead trumpet is written G on top of the staff. Super-
cool chart! Optional expanded instrumentation.

and the lead trumpet range is to F-sharp top line.

the band and a great way to feature a vocalist or

or tenor sax soloist. Vocal in Bb.

Flight of the Foo Birds—Neal Hefti/arr. Peter

Count Basie classic is a wonderful adaptation for
younger jazz groups. It does its Basie thing with a
light and cool swing feel, includes nice changes
in texture, has brief written or ad lib solos for alto
sax and trumpet 2, and an outstanding shout
chorus with drum fills. Played at 156 bpm, the
trumpet 1 range is up to written G on top of the

rock-style chart is scored for younger players with
the familiar Maynard Ferguson-flavored solo.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above
the staff. It also includes a written or improvised
tenor solo and options for reduced or expanded

Groove Merchant—Jerome Richardson/arr. Rich
Sigler. Made famous by the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis

groove that fits perfectly. Played at about 132
bpm with straight eighths, this chart is packed with
goodies like written-out solos for trombone and
trumpet, a lead trumpet range to written G on top
of the staff, a few clever modulations, and a great
development section. Toss in the optional parts to

Hay Burner—Sammy Nestico. From the Basie-
Straight Ahead album of 1968 featuring the

piano solos, and an ensemble shout to take it
all home. The rhythm section parts are partially
notated with chords cued. The genius of Count
Basie and Sammy Nestico!
