H he Shadow of Your Smile—Johnny Mandel/
T
arr. Phillippe. Every now and then it comes along,
a ballad so hauntingly beautiful that it may just
be the highlight of your concert! This is one such
gem. After a solo piano introduction, the familiar
minor melody is gently taken up by the band.
Alto sax and trumpet both get solo passages
but, for the most part, it is the ensemble effort
that makes this chart one of the best.

H and of Make Believe—Chuck Mangione/

arr. Story. Chuck Mangione's hit Land of
Make-Believe is now available for younger

by alto sax and trumpet in a dramatic, slow
tempo, the chart then breaks into the familiar
