Caveat Emptor (The Attack of the Pink
Dolphins)—Ellen Rowe. Commissioned by
the Florida Bandmasters Association, this
chart is a celebration that combines hip-hop
and straight-ahead jazz. The band will need
to play with some swagger on this piece - it
has serious attitude, and the whole band will
need to be in the groove!

Count Bubba—Gordon Goodwin. Here's
a monster of a swinger that's designed to
feature the entire ensemble. In addition to
a wonderful riff-based theme and a very
satisfying shout chorus, the chart includes
section feature spots for saxes, trumpets
and trombones, without the rhythm section.
Very effective!

Crisis—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf.
The entire ensemble gets a workout on
this highly creative chart! The overriding
style is driving swing alternating with some
Latin statements of the melody. Suggested
solos are included for trombone, tenor,
trumpet, and guitar or optional alto sax, but
improvised solos are welcome. The tempo
is 164-172 bpm, the lead trumpet range is
to written B above the staff, and there's a
roaring shout chorus. Optional parts are
included for flute and vibes. This chart will
be a highlight on any program!

Curveball—Paul Baker. Featuring a tenor
saxophone soloist, Curveball is in the style
of the Ray Charles big band. It opens with
huge ensemble brass and bluesy sax lines
that switch in and out of a double-time
swing feel. The navigation from swing
ballad style, double-time feel, and true
medium swing and the return to the original
swing ballad style helps to define the chart
throughout. A soulful melody for the soloist,
which is written and improvised, is icing on
the cake, along with an improvised solo and
cadenzas at the end. Brass ranges: trumpet
to written high D and trombone to written
G. This is a real powerhouse chart for the
entire band and an important addition to the
tenor sax solo repertoire!

Deep in the Scene—Mike Sailors. An
incredibly hip swing chart steeped in the
language of the hard bop era. Tempo
is a very manageable 165 bpm, but the
language is more advanced than a typical
swing-era chart. Trumpet and tenor sax state
the melody as it gains strength throughout
the first chorus. Even though the melody
may be challenging, the solo changes are
a familiar D minor blues progression. Solo
opportunities are provided for numerous
players, and there is a written solo provided
for the bassist later in the piece. Following
a short shout section, the drums get 16
bars to solo (with additive backgrounds)
before returning to the top of the chart via
D.C. al Coda. Trumpet range is to written C;
trombone range is to G.

Giddyup!—Rick Hirsch. Better big bands
will have a great time with this chart that
features a catchy, upbeat swing groove with
a hip-hop vibe. There are idiomatic melodic
and rhythmic themes in all the horn sections
which keep returning, thanks to a uniquely
modified rondo form. The improvised solos
are scored for tenor and trombone and the
brass ranges are moderate for this difficulty
level. Come on, let's go!

swing feel, this showcase tune will bring

lead trumpet has a unison line to written
high E. A nice sax soli is the icing on the
cake. An outstanding feature chart!

solo section, and an infectious bari sax line
that drives the whole piece. Serious jazz for

band recorded this Beatles tune, and it

So Here's the Thing—Rick Lawn. Based

Ellington-Billy Strayhorn classic Take the
"A" Train, this chart opens with the train's
arrival at the station where it's "All aboard!"

and alto sax solos (written solos provided)
are followed by trading fours between the
brass and the bassist (written solos are
provided here as well). A full-bodied shout
