Crunchy Frog—Gordon Goodwin. Bass
and guitar kick off this original Gordon
Goodwin chart with a captivating rhythmic
pattern before the full ensemble settles
in with the funky melody. There's plenty
of ensemble writing, some in unison and
some in harmony, and solo space for all
winds with suggested or improv solos. The
lead trumpet range goes to written G-sharp
on top of the staff, the tempo is around 115
beats per minute, and optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentations.
This is accessible Gordon Goodwin
material that is right in the pocket for this
grade level! Our highest recommendation!

assemble, and it's fun to play!

Feels So Good—Chuck Mangione/arr.
Victor Lopez. Only rarely does a jazz
tune cross over to the pop charts the way
this Chuck Mangione classic did back
in the seventies! Flugelhorn solo on the
1st trumpet part is featured throughout
with the distinctive melody and then with
a written or ad lib solo along with a tenor
solo. The flugelhorn solo range is up to
an optional written high C, but the solo is
cued on the 1st tenor part as well. Victor's
arrangement brings this contemporary
gem within the range of the developing
trumpet player without losing any of
the hip appeal of the original. Here's a
perennially appealing, samba/rock chart
that will provide outstanding performance
opportunities for your band and soloist!
Highly recommended!

Four! Fore?!—Mathew Montgomery. A
modern broken swing that takes the listener
on a journey. The ensemble section at
the beginning drives the piece forward
suspensefully, not knowing if the shot was
a hook or a slice. The rhythm section comes
in with a groove right down the fairway, and
it feels good. The piece continues featuring
a tenor sax solo and a swinging shout
section, which is par for the course.

follows Maynard's recorded version, except
for a much more playable introduction,
new backgrounds for the solos and some
rewriting in the trumpet parts (1st tpt. still
goes to an "E"). This one is going to be
played for a long, long time!

Honk—Jeff Jarvis. Ever since the
widespread
popularity of the Jeff Jarvis
funk original Critical Mass, requests for a
sequel have been pouring in. At last, Jeff
has composed and arranged Honk, with all
the characteristics that made its predecessor
such a hit with jazz ensembles, only at a
slightly more accessible level. Like Critical
Mass, Honk begins with a cool sax section
introduction, clearly placing your baritone
saxophonist in the limelight, but without
excessive technical demands. Everyone
has interesting and challenging parts to play
throughout and the modulation near the end
gives it an extra, added lift. The solos are
open and the backgrounds can be varied
by instrumentation. This one is hot from
beginning to end! Very highly recommended!

CD Backatown, this tune features the

exciting chart, the ensemble alternately
screams with the full band riffs, then settles

included are written bass lines and piano
voicings. A real treat to perform and hear!

sax soli, and the lead trumpet range is only to
written G on top of the staff. This outstanding
chart is also playable with optional expanded
instrumentations. This arranger does this
style extremely well and this one is no
exception. Highly recommended!

Make Me Smile—James Pankow/arr. John

sax, guitar, and all the signature horn licks.

play - this one's not your typical take on a
classic! Top trumpet note: C6
