Blues & Swing | Medium
It's Oh, So Nice—Sammy Nestico. As
recorded on the great Basie-Straight
Ahead album of 1968 by Count Basie,
this swing outing features solid section
and full ensemble writing, brass buckets,
sax scoops, drum fills, and piano in the
solo role. The tempo is not taxing with the
quarter equaling 120; however, paying
careful attention to dynamics will be
especially important. The rhythm section
parts are partially notated with chords cued.

Leon's Neon—James Gagne. A hard-
swinging with a groove that alternates
between a two-beat and four-beat feel. All
sections enjoy great figures along with an
incredibly hip sax soli. Written 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 Country Shuffle—Paul Murtha.
This appealing blues chart opens with the
rhythm section in a laid-back two-beat style
but quickly moves to a rockin' shuffle with
plenty of attitude. The style alternates with a
straight-ahead swing feel, with each section
of the band finding its own space to shine.
Included are solos for tenor and trumpet, or
really anyone who wants to join the fun. A
new key and full ensemble shout chorus
drive it home!

Midnight Voyage—Joey Calderazzo/arr.
Alan Baylock. Here is an outstanding tenor
sax feature chart that was composed by
pianist Joey Calderazzo, recorded by the
late, great Michael Brecker and arranged
by Alan Baylock. A haunting medium swing
groove- tenor sax as the melody and the
solo space, and lead trumpet range is to
written high C. A beautiful tune and superb
chart on this hard-swinging feature!

Mississippi Mojo—Joel Vanderheyden.
A joyful New Orleans second-line chart
that showcases every section of your band
through rotating soli passages. A featured
open solo section allows for collective
improvisation with three horns playing
together, adding energy and an authentic
stylistic feel. Simple vocal elements and
flexible scoring, including an optional
sousaphone part, enhance the street-band
feel. The infectious groove and sectional
variety make it a natural student favorite
that works anywhere in your set.

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!

Moon River—Henry Mancini/arr. Billy
Byers. As recorded by the Count Basie
Orchestra on their album This Time by
Basie, this wonderful, easy-swinging
Mancini classic is cleverly set in 4/4 to
accommodate the Basie band's iconic style.
This is a terrific big band chart that belongs
in every library right alongside I Can't Stop
Loving You; Nice 'n Easy and I Left My
Heart in San Francisco. There's space for
a trumpet solo, and the ensemble writing is
quite playable by most bands. So nice, and
highly recommended!

Morning—Clare Fischer/arr. Mike Kamuf. A
brilliant tune superbly arranged and played
around 110 BPM in the Cuban-flavored
guajira groove. Tenor, trumpet, guitar, and
trombone initially state the melody, and
it builds to a powerful shout chorus. Lead
trumpet range is to written high B, and
solo space is for trumpet 2, tenor 1, and
trombone 1. The auxiliary percussion part
is for congas and shaker. Play this chart, I
promise you'll love it! (5:40)

Moten Swing—Buster & Benny Moten/
arr. Ernie Wilkins. There have been a lot of
published charts on this great Ernie Wilkins
arrangement, but this is the original version
as played and recorded by the Count Basie
Orchestra. Moten Swing is possibly the most
played piece of music by the Basie band and
has been recorded countless times, making
it a must-have for any band's library as it
exemplifies wonderful roaring ensemble
passages with soft, soft sections which will
make your band sparkle. This new Finale
edition includes a transcribed piano solo
throughout, detailed rhythm section parts
which are written except during the solos,
and clearer, cleaner, more complete parts.
Additionally, there is solo space for tenor
saxophone, trumpet and piano.

Mr. Suit and Tie—Lachlan Davidson.
Written as a tribute to a beloved trombonist
and composer, this swing chart captures
warmth, wit, and effortless style. The
trombone section takes center stage in a
Thad Jones-influenced setting that balances
grit with nuance, celebrating versatility and
personality. Heartfelt and joyful, the piece is
effective in any performance setting.

My Man Sam (for Sammy Nestico)—
Gordon Goodwin. A tribute to the late,
great, brilliant arranger and composer
Sammy Nestico! This medium swing chart
has written or improvised solos for trumpet,
alto, tenor, and trombone. Superb writing
provides sweet sax solis, great dynamic
contrasts, and a wonderful shout chorus.
Optional parts include flute, vibes, and
more. Sammy would love this chart!

Naima—John Coltrane/arr. Craig
Skeffington. One of Coltrane's favorites
and played by jazz musicians everywhere,
this sweet bossa chart is magical. It opens
with alto 1 on the written melody, then the
sax section, followed by the brass taking
the bridge. Features include a very nice,
written tenor solo and lead trumpet range
to written B-flat above the staff. Perfect for
any jazz performance, you'll be delighted
with Naima! Highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.
