It has a bit of a throwback vibe that your band and audience will love. Perfect for a home concert! 11615247 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 50.00 Jazz-Rock & Funk Medium #1 No Pickles—Mathew Montgomery. You are going to love this chart! Full of flavor and funk, there is plenty of groove and energy to go around in this blues-based chart. Your trombone soloist will love the opportunity left open to solo in this tune backed by a rocking groove. And you will love how this one ends! 11399439 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 60.00 10 Miles From Home—Steve Briody. This modern jazz moderate-tempo ballad features a beautiful melody and chord changes combined with the forward pulse from your drummer's ride cymbal pattern and the rhythm section. It's a wonderful opportunity to feature your alto or flugel player on the lyrical written-out solo section. The wide range of dynamics leading to the inspiring outro provides an outstanding musical journey for your students! 11571914 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 55.00 Africa—Paich & Porcaro/arr. John Wasson. Originally a #1 hit for Toto in the early 1980s, and recorded again by the group Weezer, this powerful rock anthem features a distinctive groove and memorable lines. In this chart it's given a contemporary spin while maintaining the feel and drive of the original. There's solo space for trumpet. Highly recommended! 10960648 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 55.00 Arnge Drank (Orange Juice with an Attitude)—Paul Baker. Wow... orange drink with an attitude! Texas writer Paul Baker presents an outstanding funk chart beginning with a piano riff to set up the rhythm groove before the trumpet and altos hit with the melody. Trombones and low saxes support with counterpoint. After the trombones take it through the bridge the saxes again state the melody in a dramatic stop time section that moves into the trumpet and trombone solos. After a drum solo, the bari and bass trombone shine as they set the funky foundation for the shout chorus. A return of the piano riff sets up the final melodic statement and dramatic coda. Trumpet range to written High C. Trombone to G. Pure fun, and highly recommended! 10369423 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 50.00 Attack of the Killer Trombones—Chris Sharp. Here is the trombone section feature you've been looking for! The Sing, Sing, Sing style and ensemble writing will give your trombones plenty to sink their teeth into. The lead trumpet range extends to high C. 11515273 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 75.00 Birdland—Josef Zawinul/arr. Victor Lopez. Just listen to this chart and you know you have to have it as Victor Lopez brings the original Weather Report version to life for jazz ensembles. All the ingredients are here, plus solo space (written or improvised) for alto 1 and/or trumpet 2, nice chord voicings throughout, and the lead trumpet top note is only a written G on top of the staff. Very easy to assemble and perform, this will be a hit every time! Optional expanded instrumentation. 10277740 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 55.00 Blackbird—Lennon & McCartney/arr. Mike Tomaro. Perhaps one of the Beatles' lesser known tunes, Blackbird remains one of their most creative and memorable. Mike Tomaro's smooth setting uses a blend of light funk along with a brief samba section to create a truly outstanding effect. The theme is stated simply in the beginning by trumpet, followed by an array of orchestrational textures and harmonies. Highly recommended! 10098755 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 60.00 Bluestone Lane—Roger Schmidli. Feature your lead trombone with this great chart. Things start off sultry with a written solo and ethereal lines in the saxophones and trumpets. When things come together, it has some punch. Later on, the trombonist improvises for an extended solo. If you are looking to feature your lead trombone and have a great group that can back them up, go for this chart! 11347399 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 55.00 Brother Mister—Christian McBride/arr.

Set at a medium tempo, this hip tune includes written or improvised solos for alto 1, trumpet 2, tenor 1, and drums. The lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff and optional parts are included for expanded instrumentations. Very cool in a contemporary way! 10311431 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 52.00 Buffalo Wings—Mike Carubia. This outstanding funk original is based on two chord changes, I & IV Dominant chords, making soloing a breeze. A short interlude, or bridge, provides a break from the two chords adding interest to the overall effect of the chart. With hints of Watermelon Man, this tune features unison melodies and hip harmonies making it extremely fun to play and hear! Tons of personality! Highly recommended! 10072056 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 47.00 Bug Juice—Adrien Re. Bug Juice is a groovy, hip-hop inspired chart that will give your best trumpet, tenor sax and trombone a great opportunity for showcasing! It also features a cool breakdown section with a nod to Bob Mintzer that sets up the open solo section. The whole piece is rounded out with a powerful shout chorus and modulation. This one is going to bring the place down! 11199472 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 55.00 Caravan—Duke Ellington/arr. Mike Tomaro. You know it as swing, but this is the hot version recorded by Chicago! Ellington's famous standard gets a fresh face-lift in this exciting arrangement by Mike Tomaro! 2354991 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 55.00 Carla's Bleyhouse—Dan Kramlich.

Instrumentation: alto, tenor, bari, trumpet 1 & 2, trombone, and rhythm section; optional vibes. 11373262 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 45.00 Cold Duck Time—Eddie Harris/arr. Erik Morales. Eddie Harris' Cold Duck Time features a straight eighth feel and a very hip opening intro lick. This terrific chart is set in a funky, rock groove at about 132 - 144 bpm and has written or improvised solo space for alto sax, bari sax, trumpet 2, and guitar. The lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff (with an optional B). This chart totally cooks! Highly recommended! 10355584 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . . 52.00 Cold Sweat—arr. Allen Gray.
