Stempien & Gregory Turner. Charlie
Chaplin's classic song is arranged as a
Latin jazz chart featuring the full ensemble.

Spain—Chick Corea/arr. Paul Jennings. This
masterful arrangement from 1982 has stood
the test of time and sounds as fresh today
as it did when it was written. The authentic
sound of Chick Corea's classic is faithfully
captured – and this edition, notated in cut
time rather than 4/4, makes it much easier
to read. A real gem for every jazz ensemble!

This Masquerade—Leonn Russel/arr.
Mark Taylor. This fresh bossa setting of
Leon Russell's classic #1 hit prominently

a double-time feel, then transitions back for
the ending. Lead trumpet plays high B-flat,
and lead bone plays high G.

Three Little Words—Harry Ruby/arr. Dan
Kramlich. Latin samba energy reshapes this
familiar jazz standard in this flex arrangement

Syncopated figures give the groove its
distinct character, while a piano montuno and
interlude add stylistic color. The return of the
melody at the bridge creates a clear musical
arc – a fresh choice for teaching Latin feel at
the high school level.

way to feature your bari sax soloist!

American Patrol—arr. Mike Lewis.
Glenn Miller's band made this a huge hit in World

individual solos, very modest brass ranges, and
plenty of ensemble sound. Easy to rehearse and
perform, it swings right along and is playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentation.
A winner!
