n Xel-HaRobert Skiles/arr. Paul Baker. A high
energy samba that opens with a piano riff that sets
up the groove and alto/trumpet melody. After a
trumpet section fanfare interlude, the saxes move
into the B section. The trombones restate the piano
riff to set up the improvised alto sax solo. The pianist
returns to the spotlight with a 16-bar montuna that
leads into a modulation that launches the shout
section. One last return to the intro riff builds to an
exciting ensemble unison climax. Trumpet range is
to written high D (once), high C (once), otherwise,
high Bb. Trombone to F. All the right stuff!

Mossman. More than just a showcase for your
lead trumpet, this monster chart is a powerful
statement for the entire ensemble. Opening with

features dynamic and challenging passages for
the entire ensemble and also ample room for
soloists. Nice chart!
10283046 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 60.00
Bistro LatinoJeff Jarvis. This dynamic Latin
tune showcases two feels, songo and samba, and
results in an outstanding samba chart. The exciting
opening almost has an a cappella effect, but it's
just the rhythm section playing softly. The opening
unison lines lead to the full band opening it up with
powerful tutti passages. Nice textures are created
by the effective use of sectional interplay. The lead
saxophone part is for soprano and the solos are for
soprano and tenor saxes, or trumpet. You just have
to move to this rhythmic feel! Highly recommended!

section soli that really brightens things up. Exciting
festival chart!

Berg. The essence of the original is captured here
with this updated version of Dave Brubeck's classic

This is an exceptional chart for festival or concert!

Eleanor RigbyLennon & McCartney/arr. Eric
Richards. Commissioned by the U.S. Army Jazz
Ambassadors, this Eric Richards chart shines new
light on the beauty and depth of this classic Beatles

of samba and songo, but always with a smooth and
laid-back feel. A piano solo is featured off the top,
followed by a trio of tenor, trombone and guitar on
the head, and later solo space for one or more of

for the full ensemble. Nice!
