n 15 Minutes LateJohn Clayton. Utilizing a wide
dynamic range, subtleties in the rhythm section,
and variations in texture from just a few instruments
to the full-out ensemble, John has created a
marvelously appealing and effective concert or
festival piece.

n 88 Basie StreetSammy Nestico. Originally
written for the Sammy Nestico Dark Orchid
recording and later reprised on A Portrait of Sammy,
this iconic swing chart gives all the solo work to
piano, first in the opening 48 measures, then again
in the middle and ending segments. In between the
band tackles a terrific double counterpoint chorus
and carries a full ensemble shout chorus. Altos and
tenors double on flutes.

Aaron's BluesChip McNeill. Commissioned
by the Jazz Division of the Illinois Music Educators
Association for the 2014 Illinois All-State Jazz
Ensemble, this in-the-pocket blues swinger has
it all! Opening with an extended rhythm section
introduction to set the mood, the horns enter with
a strong melody. Solid ensemble work and plenty
of space for solos over the blues-based changes
all combine to make this chart a must-have for any
library. Highly recommended!

4 Ahunk AhunkThad Jones/arr. Mike Carubia.
This blues composition recorded on the
Consummation album in 1970 will give players a
chance to experience performing in 5/4 meter. Lots
of unison voicings give jazz bands a powerful sound
in this moderately re-scored version of the original.
It also features open solo sections on friendly B-flat
chord changes and two exciting shout choruses
for the band to wail on. Optional high and low 1st
trumpet parts and an optional flute part add to the
usefulness of this very cool chart!

Another Look at the Diminished ChordBill
Liston. Here's a hot original for advancing groups
that is exactly what you need to open your next
concert or festival performance. Unique in a
good way, it features some rhythmic stop-time
with effective backgrounds working together as
it combines elements of 1930s swing with a
fresh harmonic approach. Extra-special is a fugal
passage that builds tension and then releases with
an all-out big fat swing section! The ranges and
technical requirements are reasonable, and tenor
sax and trumpet are featured soloists with "as is" or
improvised solos. You won't want to miss this one!
Highly recommended!

n Bad Ol' BluesMike Carubia. Sometimes "the
blues" can be a very good thing! Mike Carubia's
Bad Ol' Blues is simply one of those charts
that's down 'n dirty and makes the players and
audiences happy by getting into the spirit. The
chart begins with a slow, bluesy, unison sax
melody leading to a full sax soli restatement
of the main theme. A change to double time
leads to a tenor sax solo followed by a bass solo
over accessible blues changes, or the provided
suggested solos. A soft ensemble chorus is
followed by one and a half choruses in classic
shout style before the full ensemble takes it
home. An optional flute part is included and
the written ranges are: Trumpet 1 to B-flat;
Trombone to G-flat; Alto Sax to C.

n BarnburnerLes Hooper. You guessed it,
this chart is an up-tempo swinger! Les Hooper's
arrangement will keep everyone moving forward
with this original based on Rhythm chord changes.
Solo spaces for tenor and alto plus an open solo
section for all players and a hot shout chorus. Got
to have this one! Highly recommended!

H Basie Straight AheadSammy Nestico. Don't
miss your chance to play this great chart exactly
as the Basie band recorded it, unsimplified! Your
band will meet the challenge with enthusiasm and
be proud of the results. Not for wimps!

n The Beat Goes OnSonny Bono/arr. Alan
Baylock. Yep, it's the tune by Sonny Bono, from
Sonny and Cher fame! With a driving shuffle feel,
this contemporary and hip treatment of this classic
pop/rock tune let's you know you are in for a treat
from the first note. The features include written solo
trombone at the top, great lower voice writing, and
solo space for tenor, trumpet and guitar if desired.
The lead trumpet range goes to written high D. This
is an appealing, powerful and fun-to-play chart.
Way cool and highly recommended!

n Beauty and the BeastAlan Menken/arr. Gordon
Goodwin. Gordon Goodwin pays tribute to the great
Count Basie on this famous Disney tune. With a slow
Basie groove, solos for piano and tenor sax, dynamics
galore, and a fabulous shout chorus, this is a fantastic
chart from start to finish. As performed by Gordon
Goodwin's Big Phat Band. Highly recommended!

n Bernie's TuneBernie Miller/arr. Victor Goines.
Here is a swinging chart on a great jazz standard.
Arranged by jazz educator Victor Goines, this
chart has the melody played by alto and tenor
with written solos for both, an exciting ensemble
build into a powerful shout chorus and modest
brass ranges. This is a superb arrangement that is
correlated to the Jazz at Lincoln Center's Jazz For
Young People Curriculum.

n Bird CountMaria Schneider. Fashioned after the
music of Charles Mingus, playing this raucous blues
with high energy is the key ingredient for a swingin'
performance. Much of the texture comes from the
layering of riffs, and alto and bari saxes carry the
primary solos. In her score notes, Schneider says
the improvisation on the final chord should be wild!

l Black Hole SunChris Cornell/arr. James Miley.
James Miley presents a very hip arrangement of
a great contemporary tune. Soundgarden's Black
Hole Sun is masterfully scored for the modern big
band, making great use of interesting saxophone
effects, a wonderful rhythm section feel, neat
rhythmic ideas, and very playable ensemble parts.
The trumpet range is an optional written D. The
melody is stated by tenor saxophone and trumpet
with warm, dissonant backgrounds provided by the
ensemble. The soloists can be as chosen for tenor
saxophone, trumpet and/or trombone, making this
very flexible for the strengths of your band.

n Blue in GreenMiles Davis/arr. Les Hooper.
From the landmark jazz album, Kind of Blue by
Miles Davis, Les Hooper adds his own stamp of
originality and craftsmanship with this outstanding
setting. The trumpet soloist is supported by a light
rock groove and lush backgrounds. Solo space is
also provided for alto saxophone.

4 Blue TigerErik Morales. Blue Tiger is a hard
swingin' chart that pays sparkling homage to
the great Henry Mancini. It's a wonderful way to
feature your tenor sax and trumpet soloists, as
well as your entire sax section in a hip soli feature.
Highly recommended!
10459786 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 55.00
n Blue TrainJohn Coltrane/arr. Kris Berg. Kris
Berg has scored John Coltrane's jazz standard to
offer strong ensemble writing, a fierce sax section
soli on Coltrane's transcribed solo, and solo space
on the 12-bar blues chord progression. It's flexible
so you can have as few or as many soloists as
desired with backgrounds as needed. Great tune,
great chart... it's as simple as that!
10071917 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 55.00
l Blues for Who?Mark Tonelli. This swinging
extended blues has an infectious gospel feel with a
surprise bridge that changes things up with a slick
bebop melody. Trumpet and tenor have written
changes, but it can be opened up for others. A
lively call and response soli leads to a rousing
finish. By the end, the audience will know that
blues is for everyone!

n BoliviaCedar Walton/arr. Eric Richards. A big
ensemble introduction leads into the familiar and
hip bass and piano line followed by the melody
stated by alto, tenor, trumpet, and trombone. This
chart also features great section and full ensemble
parts throughout, a huge shout chorus, and the
lead trumpet goes to written high D. Solo space is
available for alto, tenor, trumpet, and drums. This
extended arrangement is a great big band chart on
a great Cedar Walton jazz classic. An ideal festival
chart for better bands!
10311459 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 55.00
n The BombersAndy Farber. Here's a delightful
swing tune that could have come straight out of
the Count Basie library, except it was composed
to match student levels. The four bar hi-hat solo
leads into a strong ensemble introduction followed
by a unison tenor sax and trombone section soli
theme. The bridge highlights the sax section for
four bars then the full ensemble leads to the last
statement of the sax/trombone theme. Written or
ad lib solos follow, then it's a classic Basie style
shout chorus with four measure drum solo fills.
Optional higher and lower lead trumpet parts are
included. The Bombers is a great style teaching
tool, and a perfect selection for festival and concert
performances. Highly recommended!

H Count BubbaGordon Goodwin. Here's a
monster of a swinger that's designed to feature
the entire ensemble. In addition to a wonderful riff-
based theme and a very satisfying shout chorus,
the chart includes section feature spots for saxes,
trumpets and trombones, without the rhythm
section. Very effective!

n Count Bubba's RevengeGordon Goodwin.
Revenge is very sweet! It's a shuffle swing that
builds and builds, and on top of that, it showcases
all the sections by trading back and forth, even
playing without the rhythm section in the center
section. Solo space is provided for tenor, bari,
trumpet, trombone, and piano or guitar. Gordon
is masterful at creating a chart that exudes energy
and excitement, and this one sure delivers.
