n Keystone CupsPaul Baker. A rousing full
ensemble intro, complete with drum solos, leads to
a four bar, walking, written bass solo that sets up the
trumpet section bebop melody, based on "rhythm
changes." As per the title, the trumpets are in cup
mutes for this clever feature. The drummer also has
the option to switch to brushes in this section before
switching back to sticks for the rest of the chart.
An open solo space allows for numerous soloists
with cued backgrounds. An additional feature is
outstanding sax section writing. The shout chorus
begins with a horns only "stop time" section that
builds through the bridge to a flag waving finale!
Trumpet range to written High C. Trombone to F.
Highly recommended, clever, and unique!

4 The Little DipperMike Carubia. The Little
Dipper is a medium tempo shuffle/blues chart
that swings hard from beginning to end! It
opens with a unison melody by the brass which
is repeated with the sax section playing the
background harmonies. Following the open solo
section the piano and bass are featured, then a
quiet ensemble chorus builds to a roaring shout
chorus. The solos are flexible over easy B-flat
blues changes. The brass ranges are moderately

optional flute part is included. Don't miss this very
strong chart! Highly recommended!

chart! Highly recommended!

Minor Swing from the MiddleBill Liston.
This is one of the nicest minor swing charts we
have heard in years! Aside from the outstanding
ensemble passages that highlight all sections of
the band and wonderful full band ensembles, it has
a great bari sax part. After the solo section for alto
sax and trombone, it returns to the head and a soft
ending. This chart can be programmed anywhere
in your set, but could work exceptionally well as an
opener. Highly recommended!

This is the original Count Basie chart, recreated by

H Out of the DoghouseErik 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

n Phat and SassyPaul Baker. Phat and Sassy
opens with eight bars of Gene Krupa-style tom-toms
and places this chart solidly in the hard-swinging
big-band genre of Benny Goodman and Lionel
Hampton. The saxes charge in with the melody
which is soon traded back and forth with the brass
sections. Tenor sax, trumpet, and drum solos over
accessible changes follow, leading to a trombone
section riff that builds through the ensemble. The
sax section then takes over for a swinging soli before
returning to a shout chorus and ending. This chart is
a real flag-waver that teaches the fundamentals of
the swing style along with an historical perspective.
A super chart that is highly recommended!

The Pink Panther (Little Big Band)Henry
Mancini/arr. Mike Tomaro. This timeless Mancini
classic gets a makeover inspired by the version

swing with an occasional hint of rock thrown in.
This is a highly effective treatment for the little big
band instrumentation. 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!
