n C-Jam Blues (a la Mambo)Duke Ellington/arr.
Michael Mossman. Here is an excitedly different
take on this Ellington swing classic done in a
mambo style! Including a slightly twisted melody to
fit the style, Latin master Michael Philip Mossman
cleverly adds counterlines, a montuno section,
solos for alto or trumpet, and a vamp that starts
soft and then gains momentum. We think even the
Duke would have liked this distinctive chart!

introduction by the saxes and rhythm section the

to shine and there is a section where the lead
trumpet can solo on a written part, or the entire
trumpet section can play it as a soli. Containing no
improvisation, this chart will bring down the house

chart. The suggested or improvised solos are for
trumpet 2, trombone 1 and drums, and the lead

H Feels So GoodChuck Mangione/arr. Victor
Lopez. Only rarely does a jazz tune cross over
to the pop charts the way this Chuck Mangione
classic did back in the seventies! Flugelhorn solo
on the 1st trumpet part is featured throughout
with the distinctive melody and then with a
written or ad lib solo along with a tenor solo.
The flugelhorn solo range is up to an optional
written high C, but the solo is cued on the 1st
tenor part as well. Victor's arrangement brings
this contemporary gem within the range of the
developing trumpet player without losing any of
the hip appeal of the original. Here's a perennially
appealing, samba/rock chart that will provide
outstanding performance opportunities for your
band and soloist! Highly recommended!
