Don't Stop Believin'—arr. Paul Baker.
Hey rock fans, here's a powerful rock
ballad made famous by Journey, arranged
for young jazz ensemble. From the opening
line, this chart is magical to the band and
the audience. It has no jazz solos, but if
you have a guitar player, the arrangement
has an optional written guitar melodic line
that's also written for trumpets. A great
classic and highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

Don't Stop Me Now—Freddie Mercury/arr.
Paul Murtha. The music of the rock group
Queen is always fun to play - particularly
this hit featuring solo alto sax in the slow
opening, then the full band rockin' out in the
fast section. There's a short solo for alto
sax, then a return to the slow tempo for a
dramatic finish.

Forget You—arr. Paul Murtha. With a
sound similar to the pop hits of the 1960s,
this upbeat tune was a huge hit by Cee Lo
Green and also featured on the TV show
Glee, performed by Gwyneth Paltrow.
This effective chart for younger players
features a suggested tenor sax solo in
the beginning, which is then joined by
the entire sax section. The brass get their
chance, a modulation kicks in, and things
transition to high gear to finish up. Highly
recommended!

Free Ride—arr. John Wasson. Recorded
by the Edgar Winter Group in 1973,
this driving rock tune has a powerful
contemporary edge that remains popular
today. This terrific chart is propelled by a
driving pulse and the signature melodies
and riffs from the original. The dynamic
level is almost full bore until the suggested
or improvised solo for trumpet. After the
solo the dynamics drop down and the whole
thing begins to build again! Everyone gets
the melody at some point, chord/scale solo
sheets in all keys, fully notated bass lines
and piano voicings are included. Highly
recommended!

melodies from the original.

Gonna Fly Now (Theme from "Rocky")—
Bill Conti/arr. Victor Lopez. The theme

powerful and noble! This rock-style chart
is scored for younger players with the
familiar Maynard Ferguson-flavored solo.
The lead trumpet range is to written A
above the staff. It also includes a written
or improvised tenor solo and options for
reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Gonna Fly Now is a great classic that
should be in all jazz ensemble libraries!

Hooked on a Feeling—arr. Paul Murtha.
Recorded by Blue Swede in 1974, this
familiar hit was featured prominently in
the blockbuster movie "Guardians of the
Galaxy" as part of the film's "Awesome
Mix." Instantly recognizable with the "ooga
chaka" jungle chant, the popularity of this
easy-going rocker is now reaching a new
generation! Fun for all!
