Persephone—Dan Kramlich. A bossa nova
inspired by Greek mythology, this chart
starts with a twisted chorale and leads the
listener on a journey to bring Persephone
out of the underworld.

Running of the Bulls—Doug Beach &
George Shutack. This unique original is
an ideal change-of-pace tune for your next
festival or concert program. For developing
ensembles, it opens with a mysterious,
Spanish style rubato introduction with solo
trumpet and rhythm section, then breaks into
an all-out, hot Latin/Spanish style that doesn't
let up. Crisp ensemble work and written or
improvised solos lead to a percussion break
before the head returns. Pure excitement!

So Danco Samba—Antonio Carlos
Jobim/arr. Victor Lopez. Victor Lopez
creatively sets Jobim's great samba with an
alternating and brief swing feel. The tempo
is around 158 bpm, and it's tasty with some
clever quotes you'll recognize. There's also
a written or improvised solo for tenor sax,
a few piano montuno interludes, accessible
brass ranges, and optional parts included
for augmented instrumentations. Add it all
together and you've got a fine samba chart.
Highly recommended!

combo (alto, tenor, trumpet, trombone), it
features some very nice ensemble writing.

Tico's South Side Rumba—Michele
Fernandez. Whenever you see this
composer's name on a Latin chart (or any
chart) you know it is going to be fire. This
authentic rumba is no exception. A groove
that will have the audience dancing in the
aisles and melody you won't be able to get
out of your head. The flute over the sax soli
adds the perfect spice. Very meticulous
percussion scoring ensures an authentic
interpretation that will give your students
a wonderful education in Latin styles and
playing techniques. Open solos. Lead
Trumpet plays optional high B and Lead
Bone plays optional high G. A must have!

Afro Blue—Mongo Santamaria/arr.
Michael Mossman. Made famous by
John Coltrane, but treated here in a more
traditional Afro-Latin style, this is something
a little different for jazz ensemble. As with
all Mossman charts, the rhythm section is
meticulously notated to ensure the correct
style. The 3/4 pattern throughout draws
heavily on African influences and the
melody is masterfully passed from section
to section. A single pentatonic scale works
for the solo section, making this a wonderful
vehicle for involving many soloists.

Alla Africana—Jane Kozhevnikova. With
its memorable piano hook, creative use
of percussion, and unison rhythms, your
band will excel with this excellent Afro-
Cuban chart!

Blue Bossa—Kenny Dorham/arr. Mark
Taylor. One of the essential Latin jazz classics,
this catchy tune moves and grooves in
Mark Taylor's spicy arrangement. It really
makes the most of the Latin rhythmic feel,
with exciting solo space and well-articulated
ensemble backups. Very cool... and hot!
2475702 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 55.00
Carismatica—Michele Fernandez. This is
the real deal - an authentic bossa nova from
a master of the style. Creative voicings along
with guitar and vibes create some fresh and
exotic colors, and an unexpected shift to a
funk groove takes it to the next level. Along
with detailed rhythm section parts, there are
optional auxiliary percussion parts that add
to the Brazilian feel. Moderate brass ranges
and straightforward rhythms make this a very
playable chart. Open solos for all instruments.

Chili Today, Hot Tamale—Rick Hirsch.
A great title and great chart! Chili Today,
Hot Tamale is set in a samba groove in
cut time at around 90 bpm. It's accessible
to a solid easy to medium grade level,
there are written solos for trombone 1 and
tenor sax 1, optional parts for expanded
instrumentations, and the trumpet 1 range
goes to written A above the staff with
optional lower notes. This chart is fun to
play and loaded with energy!

Coconut Champagne—Denis DiBlasio/arr.
Victor Lopez. Victor Lopez' arrangement of
this great tune by Denis DiBlasio is a more
accessible version than the original. At a
medium grade level with an upbeat samba
groove, everybody gets some action with
the classic Maynard Ferguson trumpet solo
harmonized for the trumpet section in a
playable range. There is a sax section soli
that can also be a solo for bari sax or any
saxophone. An optional percussion part will
complete the package. You'll dig this chart...
it soars, it excites!
10277765 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 52.00
El Alma de la Banda (The Soul of the
Band)—Gordon Goodwin. It's soulful,
Latin, and full of energy - phenomenal jazz
writing while still being accessible to well-
developed high school jazz programs. All
instrumentalists enjoy hip and memorable
licks. The lead trumpet range is to written
high C above the staff, with solo space
(suggested written solo) for alto, tenor, bari,
trumpet, and trombones 1 and 2. Auxiliary
percussion plus optional flute and vibes
complete this gem.

PATRIOTIC
JAZZ CHARTS
Perfect for those special moments
in community events, school
programs, and more!
American Patrol—arr. Mike Lewis. Glenn Miller's band made this
a huge hit in World War II. Here it's scored for young players, with no
individual solos, very modest brass ranges, and plenty of ensemble
sound. Easy to rehearse and perform, it swings right along and is
playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentation. A winner!

Battle Hymn of the Republic—William Steffe, Julia Ward
Howe /arr. Bryan Kidd. Patriotism "cooks" in this infectious, bluesy

a determined, yet happy and swinging performance including a kickin'
sax soli and hot shout chorus.

Jazz Superset No. 5: The Patriotic Collection—arr. Mike
Lewis. Every jazz ensemble should have this wonderful patriotic
collection in their library! Mike Lewis offers complete arrangements of
our nation's most familiar songs in stirring arrangements useful for a
variety of performance needs. Titles include: America; America The
Beautiful; The Star Spangled Banner (with optional lyric sheet); The

Patrol. Very highly recommended!

The Star-Spangled Banner—arr. Paul Clark. Although this
piece is not usually associated with jazz bands, this arrangement
works so well it can appropriately be included in any jazz concert.
It's also invaluable to have in the files for those emergency situations
when a jazz group is called upon to perform our national anthem. It
includes just the right elements to give it a jazz flavor yet maintains
the dignity and reverence of the original. While it is harmonically jazzy,
it is rhythmically traditional and can serve as accompaniment for
audience singing. It is also playable with reduced instrumentation. If
your jazz ensemble plays for basketball games, this is perfect. A wise
investment for all jazz programs! Highly recommended!
