Steve Parsons. Your band will have a blast with
this low-down funky chart! Even though the title

absolutely have to play with some swagger.

Birdland—Joe Zawinul/arr. Victor Lopez. Just
listen to this chart and you know you have to have
it! This chart brings the original Weather Report
version to life for your young jazz ensemble. 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.

Chameleon—Herbie Hancock/arr. Victor Lopez.
Herbie Hancock for the developing band? Yes!
From his famous Headhunter recording, here
is a great opportunity to play one of the biggest
jazz-rock hits of all time. The melody is first played
by alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone, then the
trumpet section. Next up is a flexible, open solo
section with a solo line written for all the winds so
anybody or everyone can solo! The top note for
lead trumpet is written G on top of the staff. Super-
cool chart! Optional expanded instrumentation.

The Chicken—Alfred James Ellis/arr. Kris
Berg. If you've got a strong bassist, this is your
showstopper! Made famous by bass virtuoso
Jaco Pastorius, this chart gets kicking with a killer
gospel chorale but is soon interrupted by one of
the funkiest bass lines ever played. Soon the entire
band is in on it with a Tower of Power-style sound
that is sure to impress everyone who hears it!

the winds while still bringing a fun groove.

CELEBRATE THE LEGACY OF
GORDON GOODWIN
Count Bubba—Gordon Goodwin.
Here's a monster of a swinger that's designed to feature the entire ensemble. In addition to a
wonderful riff-based theme and a very satisfying shout chorus, the chart includes section feature
spots for saxes, trumpets and trombones, without the rhythm section. Very effective!

Hunting Wabbits—Gordon Goodwin.
A stellar tongue-in-cheek tribute to cartoons! The mixing of "legitimate" and swing styles makes this
chart a showstopper. Soprano sax leads the saxes throughout, and some feisty unaccompanied
sections will keep everyone on the edge of their seats. There's solo space for soprano, tenor, trumpet,
and trombone along with percussion parts and an optional synthesizer part for the piano player.

Sing Sang Sung—Gordon Goodwin.
This monster chart takes its cues from Sing, Sing, Sing and goes right over the top! Not many tunes
can match the energy of that big band classic, but this one sure does. You'll know it from Goodwin's
Grammy-nominated CD Swingin' for the Fences, and it is one very hot chart!

Yes, it's hip! A clever, swinging treatment of a catchy tune played around 150 bpm. Lead trumpet
range is to written B above the staff, the solo section includes suggested solos written for C, B-flat,
E-flat, and trombone players: your choice. The shout chorus features drums trading with the

Tweet Fatigue—Gordon Goodwin.
A superb chart for a good high school jazz ensemble – play it around 126 bpm with a straight-eighth
feel and a rock groove. The saxes start things off a cappella, then it heats up in a quirky but clever
Goodwin way. Solo space is provided for a variety of players, with separate sample solos provided
for C, B-flat, E-flat, and trombone soloists. An auxiliary percussion part and all the usual optional
parts plus vibes are included for augmented instrumentations. Here's your festival chart that's
highly recommended!

trombone, and C instruments – all very flexible. Each section gets to shine in this superb chart.
