Jazz Ensemble Blues & Swing | Medium-Easy/Medium
Slick and Sly—Drew Zaremba. A uniquely cool
chart with a tango-ish groove played around 112
bpm. Alto 1 takes the soulful melody line and
solo space, along with trumpet 2, trombone 1,
and drumset. Brass use their plunger mutes, and
lead trumpet range is to written G sharp. Optional
parts include flute and vibes. Beautiful colors and
textures galore in this excellent chart!

Soul Chicken—Kris Berg. A very soulful alto sax 1
feature with a relaxed rock-flavored groove played
around 86 bpm. Everything is written out for the
alto including a suggested ad-lib solo section.
Trumpet 1 range is to written G on top of the staff.
An electric piano and bass will provide a nice
texture. An outstanding chart for any performance.

Sweetie Pie (from "The Jazz Command-
ments")—Jerry Tolson/arr. Peter Blair. This
is one of the many tunes from Jerry Tolson's
landmark book The Jazz Commandments used
to demonstrate jazz articulation and style. The
chart is loaded with standard rhythmic figures that
are the foundation of jazz and will help students
capture the essence of the style.

Swing Line—David Samuel. This is a great
straight-ahead swing chart that is as much fun to
play as it is to hear! It is AABA song form with solo
opportunities for alto sax, trumpet, and trombone.

Blues & Swing
Medium
Blues for Gum—Mike Tomaro. This straight-
ahead swing chart lets everyone get in on the
action. There is plenty of full ensemble work
throughout, and the blues-based changes provide
ample solo space. A superb choice for concert or
festival.

Dat Dere—Bobby Timmons/arr. Erik Morales.
A soulful tune with a catchy title and melody! In
a medium swing groove and a moderate tempo
with a slightly mysterious intro, the saxes grab the
melody and it builds from there. A written or ad lib
alto solo is provided with a fat shout chorus. This
is an outstanding chart in every respect! Highly
recommended!

Full Steamin'—Dave Hanson. Wow! This chart
swings from top to bottom. The vibe of Don
Menza's tune for Buddy Rich Groovin' Hard is at
the heart of this new chart. It's a great opener or
closer for a festival performance!

I Will Wait For You—Michel Legrand/arr. Mark
Taylor. Originally composed for the French musical
"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" and recorded
by many great artists including Connie Francis
and Cher, this swinging arrangement for vocals
and jazz band seamlessly weaves in and out of
a half-time swing/swing feel. It features a great
instrumental break and a brief trumpet 2 solo.
11617953 Jazz Ensemble & Vocalist . . . . 55.00
In the Mood—Joe Garland. This Glenn Miller
classic is a must for every jazz band library!
Carefully edited and available with a full score, this
arrangement has everything you need to recreate
the original including a trumpet solo, and a short
call-and-response passage between the alto and
tenor saxes. It's a guaranteed crowd pleaser!

Javelin—Sam Fagaly. Return to the cool jazz
movement of the 1960s with this fascinating
original piece. A great solo feature opportunity for
the lead tenor player.

Juego de ninos—Toshi Clinch. This cha-cha-cha
is built around a small number of rhythmic cells
commonly found in the style. It was composed
to demystify Latin music at the high school level,
while also providing a chord progression that
allows any level of player to learn how to improvise.
Throughout the piece there are references to two
great Cuban composers, Cachao Lopez and
Arsenio Rodriguez, as well as the well-known
American composer Tito Puente.

Leon's Neon—James Gagne. A hard-swinging
chart with shifting grooves, hip sax soli, and written
solo changes for alto sax, tenor sax, and trumpet.

Let's Do It, Let's Fall In Love—Cole Porter/arr.
Tyler Arcari. The Cole Porter classic gets the full
swing treatment in this arrangement. In the B
section of the tenor solo, there is a great trombone
soli without the rhythm section that your students
will really be able to dig into, and the ending builds
to a dynamic hit to wrap up the chart.

Low Tide—Jonah Sendlin. A low-key but high-
energy piece with something for everyone to
love. Mixing straight and swung styles, it gives
players the experience of conveying similar
material in new and effective ways. A great bass
feature – beginning with an open cadenza, it has
complicated and compelling bass lines, and room
for solos.

Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Andrew Homzy.
Here's a playable yet very effective arrangement
of this signature Mingus composition. The familiar
baritone sax riff is handled by three saxes, and
there is also a substantial soli for the entire
saxophone section. Optional parts are included
for flute, clarinet and French horn. A terrific
introduction to the genius of Mingus!
