Can't We Be Friends?—Kay Swift/arr.
Dallas C. Burke. This iconic jazz standard
has been covered by all the greats
including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald,
Linda Ronstadt, and many more! This up-
tempo swing treatment of the tune features
some great ensemble writing and swings
hard throughout. The melody is stated
with an alto solo before all the sections
in the band take a turn. Written or ad-lib
solos feature the trumpet and trombone
before a burning sax section soli. This tune
culminates with a high-energy finish that
will energize any concert.

Cats & Rabbits—Rich Woolworth. Here's
a medium-tempo swinger in a 32-bar song
form. The saxes float through the first
chorus before the full band joins in. Then
there's a hip sax soli followed by a trumpet
solo and some tight ensemble work leading
to a tenor solo. The chart builds to a shout
chorus, and then comes way down for a
piano solo. The full band takes it out.
