Boss City—Wes Montgomery/arr. Mike Kamuf.
It's a funky-rock groove, let's call it a boogaloo,
performed around 126 bpm. A very catchy melody,
with stop-time sections and solos provided for alto,
tenor, trumpet, trombone, and guitar, plus some
brief drum solo interludes. Lead trumpet range is
to written G on top of the staff. This is a great chart
for any performance setting.

Can I Be Honest With You?—Dave Mills. This
up-tempo blues in the key of F is the perfect opener
for any concert. With blues quotes galore, this
tune features space for alto, tenor, trumpet, and
trombone to improvise the F blues over some killer
band backgrounds. After the solo section, there's a
sax section soli before coming back around to the
infectious melody. With a burning swing that just
won't stop, your band is sure to love this one!

Cats & Rabbits—Rich Woolworth. Here's a
medium-tempo swinger in a 32-bar song form. The
saxes float through the first chorus before the full
band joins in. Then there's a hip sax soli followed
by a trumpet solo and some tight ensemble work
leading to a tenor solo. The chart builds to a shout
chorus, and then comes way down for a piano
solo. The full band takes it out.

Easy, Fella—Nic Johnston. In the style of Count
Basie, this features conversational interplay
between sections and a driving, accessible
groove. The piece unfolds like a gathering of old
friends, with the saxophones introducing ideas,
the brass responding, and the piano occasionally
interrupting before a final consensus emerges.
The head draws on gospel influences, particularly
through harmonic inversions and a walking bass
line that shunts the piece forward.

Goin' off the Peep End—Kris Berg. Yep, another
chicken-themed chart set in a rock groove played
at 132 bpm. Solos are provided for alto 1 and
trumpet 2, lead trumpet range is to written G on
top of the staff. Yeah, it's rock groove, but there
are plenty of dynamics and contrasts throughout.
Optional vibes. This is a fun chart!

The Inner Circle—Rich Woolworth. This minor-
key swing chart is a great way for younger bands
to explore the 32-bar song form. The long solo
section provides opportunities for several soloists;
written solos for tenor, trumpet, trombone, and
alto are provided. After an ensemble chorus and
a sax soli, the band reprises the melody, leading
to a soft ending.

The Jody Grind—Horace Silver/arr. Mark Taylor.
Enrich your jazz musicians with the music of
Horace Silver with this arrangement of one of his
most soulful blues tunes. Tenor sax 1 and trumpet
2 play the first statement of the head, creating the
original sound before the alto 1 joins in. Expert
scoring wraps the melody in hip figures and great
ensemble hits. Solo changes for trumpet 2.

Jumpin' at the Woodside—Count Basie/
arr. Rich DeRosa. This one just builds and
builds! Rich DeRosa keeps this Count Basie
signature tune swinging all the way and includes
two optional tag endings to keep the Basie style
intact. The solos are written out for piano, tenor
sax, trumpet and trombone and the lead trumpet
range is to written G on top of the staff with an
A on the optional tag ending. Optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentation. One of
the Count's finest!

Loose Canon—Paul Murtha. Highlight your sax
section with this great F minor blues chart. Hip
swinging melodies wrapped in phat brass and
rhythm section hits along with great unison brass
writing on the bridge make this highly accessible
while sounding far more advanced. Open solos for
tenor sax, trumpet, and trombone.

Luck of the Draw—Doug Beach. From the
opening notes to the final chord, this chart bristles
with energy and excitement. The hard-charging
swing groove provides the perfect setting for the
rhythmic melodic line. With plenty of ensemble
work and an open solo section, this is the perfect
opener for your next program.

Midnight Alley—Doug Beach. Great scoring and
a solid melody make this straight-ahead swing
chart a great choice for younger bands. The minor
harmonies provide an easy entry into the world
of improvisation, and the ensemble writing gives
everyone a chance to get in on the action. This
one provides a wealth of teaching opportunities
and will be a hit on any concert or festival program.

Gershwin / arr. Mark Taylor. Give your young
jazz ensemble the opportunity to experience this
classic standard by one of America's greatest
songwriting teams.

Payton's Tune—Rick Hirsch. A gorgeous even-
eighth treatment of a poignant yet powerful melody
you'll love. Trumpet 1 takes the written melody
line, plus a few brief suggested solos for alto,
trombone, tenor, and trumpet are provided. The
tempo after the intro is around 144 bpm. Auxiliary
percussion and various other optional parts
included. A beautiful chart.

Sing, Sing, Sing—Louie Prima/arr. Victor Lopez.
Yep, this is the Sing, Sing, Sing you know and
love, made famous by Gene Krupa and the Benny
Goodman Orchestra, but arranged here for young
players. The classic drum solo that can be opened
up for as much excitement as the crowd can stand,
along with a written-out tenor solo, reasonable
brass ranges and lots of meaty ensembles keep
this great chart exciting. It will also sound full with
reduced instrumentation or with the optional non-
jazz band parts. It's still a showstopper! Highly
recommended!
