l ManhuntRick Hirsch. This chart will give wind
players something to take home and woodshed.
The syncopated even-8th note groove that carries
on throughout the tune is infectious. It features

strong shout chorus with an unobvious, exciting
ending. An excellent choice to open or close your
festival program! Instrumentation: 5 saxes, 5
trumpets, 4 trombones (3 tenors, 1 bass), guitar,
piano, bass, and drums with optional parts for
flute and vibes.

n Play that Funky MusicRobert Parissi/arr.
Gordon Goodwin. This Gordon Goodwin chart
on the classic funk rock tune Play That Funky
Music is a showcase for your lead alto saxophone
soloist from start to finish. This one demands a
contemporary alto sax soloist with style and some
altissimo chops too. A funk groove is essential for
the rhythm section. If you have the rhythm section
and the alto player, this is it! As recorded on The
Phat Pack by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band.
Highly recommended!

4 Stan's PlanPaul Baker. Stan's Plan features
a rock/fusion groove and is inspired by the
harmonies of Stan Kenton's Artistry in Rhythm
as interpreted by the Brecker Brothers. After
an intensely funky eight bar ensemble intro, the
chart settles into a hip fusion groove where the
melody unfolds through layered textures. An
emphatic ensemble sendoff sets up a screaming
heavy metal guitar solo which is followed by a
more fusion-based tenor sax solo. The sax
section is featured next with commentary from
the brass before the melody reappears in high
fashion. The ending is a nod to the Kenton band
theatrics, with a quote from Artistry in Rhythm's
trombone section finale. The trumpet range is
to written high D, and the tempo is around 114
bpm. Terrific festival or contest chart!

Street MusicFred Sturm. This original is
everything we've come to expect from this talented
jazz composer. Set in a half-time funk shuffle style,
the operative words here are "rhythmic groove."
The rhythm section parts are fully notated and the
trumpet, tenor sax, trombone and piano soloists will
feel right at home playing over the 24-bar blues
form. Suitable for proficient groups, the trumpet
range is D6 and G4 for trombone. Don't miss this
hot chart!

4 Three Hip MiceSteve Allee. Ingeniously
composed using just the three-note motif from
the nursery rhyme Three Blind Mice, jazz keyboard
master Steve Allee has created an impressive
and unique fusion-style chart for mature groups.
Weaving the melody from section to section over
the top of a continuously churning rhythm section
foundation, this chart is a great way to spice up
festival repertoire. The solos are handed out to alto
sax and trumpet, but the chart can be opened up or
adapted to accommodate any number of soloists.
Dynamic and fresh!

feature for your singer or any horn player!

similar to the original. Featuring distinctive modal
style harmonies, and a few twists and turns, and
solos for trumpet (naturally) and alto sax, this is sure
to be a standout selection for any ensemble!

n WhiplashHank Levy/arr. Erik Morales. Don
Ellis and Hank Levy are bith legendary for big band
charts in odd meters. Whiplash is a super-exciting
chart in 7/4 composed by Levy and arranged by
Erik Morales. Don't be intimidated by the meter...
it's challenging but after a few minutes it feels quite
natural and the students will totally groove on it.
The melody is stated by 2nd trumpet and 1st alto
with solo space for both on easy chord changes.
Articulation is critical and the rhythm section may
want to spend some quality time together. The lead
trumpet range is to written D above the staff. This
is a unique but very desirable chart to have in your
library. You won't regret playing Whiplash!
