4 Left My Heart in San Francisco—arr.
I
Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones wrote some
incredible arrangements on very popular tunes
for the Count Basie Orchestra. As recorded on
This Time By Basie, Quincy's arrangement of I
Left My Heart in San Francisco features great
interplay between the ensemble playing the
melody, and the piano with written solo fills. With
a tempo around 108 bpm, and a relaxed swing
feel, there's also short solo space for tenor
saxophone, and the ranges are very moderate.
This chart is playable by a lot of bands. It's a
true classic! Highly recommended!

l Joshua—Victor Feldman/arr. Mark Taylor.
Composed by pianist Victor Feldman, this jazz
standard has been popular with recording artists
ever since Miles Davis famously introduced
it back in 1963. Written in an up-tempo
swing style and featuring the riff-like melody
surrounded by full ensemble statements, this
well crafted chart is certain to become a staple
in the repertoire for jazz groups.

4 essage from Westlake—Mike Kamuf.
M
Message from Westlake is a swinger that cooks
right along at about 172 bpm and features a
melody stated by tenor sax 1, bari sax, trumpet
2, trombone 1, and guitar with written out or
improvised solos for those instruments. A
stop-time chorus, an absolutely kickin' shout
chorus, a lead trumpet range to a written B
and optional vibes part make this chart even
better. Additional parts are included for optional
expanded instrumentation. Fabulous chart!
Highly recommended!

Out of the Doghouse—Erik Morales.
Arranger/composer Erik Morales delivers! This
outstanding shuffle chart sounds like a big
old freight train coming down the tracks, and
it just builds and builds! There's a wonderful
section after the optional solos that features a
powerful sax soli without the rhythm section,
and there are great breaks for piano and drums
throughout. There are also some independent
bari sax lines and optional written solos for alto,
tenor and guitar. The lead trumpet range is to
written A above the staff and there's an optional
ending with lead trumpet notes up to C. This
is a hot chart! Our highest recommendation!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

T
Rollins/arr. Mark Taylor. Using tenor and
baritone saxes to do the heavy lifting, here is
a fun chart on this Sonny Rollins classic! There
are clever ensemble interludes and a shout
chorus to round out this swingin' chart for
little big band. Scored for 6 horns (3 saxes, 2
trumpets, 1 trombone) plus rhythm section with
optional parts included for alto sax, tenor sax
and trombone. Highly recommended!

Told Ya So—Gordon Goodwin. More
accessible than most Gordon Goodwin charts,
Told Ya So is a medium swing, modal original.
The tempo is around 140 bpm, there's a flexible
solo section that has written solos provided for
flute (optional), alto 1, tenor 1, bari, trumpet 3
and trombone 1. The lead trumpet range is to
written B above the staff and optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentations. It's
relaxed and kinda laid-back, but still has the
Goodwin intensity. A fun to play, more accessible
Goodwin chart! Highly recommended!
