Christmas & Holiday / Jazz Ensemble Warm-Ups
4 Three Guys (We Three Kings)arr. Bob
Turner. Three Guys is a jazz/rock/funk take on We
Three Kings and is taken directly from the highly
successful flexible instrumentation small group
chart with the same title. The guitar fills and solo
are written and can be played as is or improvised.
Chord symbols are written into the solo section so
any player can take a ride. A great chart for any
holiday or winter concert!

n Trombones Under the TreePaul Clark. Three
carols that everyone will know are included in this
easy to prepare medley of Joy to the World, The First
Noel and Jingle Bells that features the trombone
section! No matter how many trombones you have,
it works great with a featured trombone quartet, trio,
duet...or even solo trombone! It's an effective and
fun arrangement that brings your trombones out
front to add variety and cheer at holiday and winter
concerts. Everyone will be talking about it on their
way home! Very highly recommended!

n The Twelve Days of Christmasarr. Paul
Clark. Everybody in the band gets their own special
"day" in this creative holiday rock arrangement of
the familiar tune. The melody gets traded off from
section to section in a fairly predictable way until
it's the piano players turn. Then things change
abruptly and some funky fun begins. This leads to
an open solo section over only two chords, and the
background parts sound so good you could even
omit the solos if desired. A few bars of piano sets up
the melody again, this time in a canon, which leads
to a big ending. At least 12 days of creativity in one
fun and easy to prepare chart! Highly recommended!
10281886 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . ME 48.00
n Two Front TeethDon Gardner/arr. Paul Baker.
You, your band and their audiences will enjoy this
clever chart on this familiar holiday novelty tune.
After the full ensemble rubato introduction, the
medium tempo samba kicks in with altos and
trumpets, then the melody is bounced around to
all sections. After a Montuna interlude, there are
2nd trumpet written solos with only two chords to
keep it accessible for developing players, a sax
soli, a written 2nd trombone solo, then a big shout
chorus and out to the fun finish. It's also playable
with optional expanded instrumentation. Something
different...a clever samba based on this holiday
standard. Highly recommended!
10303044 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . ME 44.00
n We Wish You a Merry Christmasarr. Paul
Clark. This familiar carol never sounded like this
before! It's a straight-ahead rock chart that's
really accessible, and there's even an open solo
section over an easy two-chord vamp if desired.
An especially nice effect is an eight-bar a cappella
chorale section before the original style returns and
takes it on home to the finale. This one will be a big
hit on your holiday concert!

H White ChristmasIrving Berlin/arr. Michael

groove with a completely notated solo section for
any of the horns. There's also an optional written-
out drum set solo. An easy-to-prepare and fun
holiday chart, this one also features some easily
spoken Who Let the Elves Out? chants. A very
contemporary and cool groove for your holiday
concert! Highly recommended!
10011874 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . VE 36.00
Winter Wonderlandarr. Paul Cook. Swinging
just comes naturally in this holiday favorite! The
chart opens with a nice alto sax and trumpet duet,
and things really get cooking with a fun solo section
with the altos and tenors trading fours. Easy swing
rhythms and skillful arranging make this enjoyable
for the whole band. You'll want to own this.

tune God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen for young jazz
ensembles. The style is an easy swing feel at about
120 bpm, the trumpet 1 range is to written E top
space, there are no solos, and there's a smooth
modulation. This accessible and well written holiday
arrangement is also playable with optional reduced
or expanded instrumentations.

Yo Tannenbaum! (O Tannenbaum)arr.
Gordon Goodwin. Holiday jazz by Gordon Goodwin?
Yes... and this adaptation of O Tannenbaum is quite
an adventure! Offering a chorale, some Basie style
and fast and furious Goodwin bebop, this is not
your ordinary holiday jazz chart. There's solo space
for alto and tenor sax, trumpet and trombone. The
optional doubles are flute for 2nd alto sax, lead alto
has either a standard alto part or an optional part for
alto with a soprano double. An extremely exciting
chart as performed by The Big Phat Band.

Warm-Ups
H Blues Warm-Ups and WorkoutsPaul Jennings.
You asked for it! So Paul Jennings has drawn on
his broad experience in jazz education to develop
this unique set of warm-ups and exercises based
on the blues form and designed especially for
developing jazz ensembles. There are scale
workouts, sensitivity exercises, a blues chorale and
much more. This "versatile rehearsal toolkit" is a
must for groups that want to improve.

n Developing the Language of JazzJonathan
Holford & Mike Carubia. Developing the Language
of Jazz is a unique and comprehensive warm-up
method and study that will have your jazz ensemble
reading and playing stylistically more correct after
a few 5 to 8 minute warm-up sessions. These
simple, concise, and straight forward studies not
only help students with the conceptual and stylistic
difficulties in the jazz style, but will also help both
jazz savvy and novice jazz educators convey these
concepts to their students. This insightful set of
exercises primarily uses the instructional technique
of call (where the exercises are demonstrated by
the teacher or from mp3 audio examples) and
response (when students play back the example).
The mp3 audio files are available as downloads
from the publisher's website for each instrument.
Included are both unison and harmonized
exercises. Those teachers who have been active
in the jazz idiom will relish the fact that they
have a complete curriculum of material to work
with covering the six aspects of the language of
jazz: Rhythm, Articulation, Dynamics, Balance,
Phrasing and Beginning Improvisation. Developing
the Language of Jazz is sold as a complete
set with parts included for standard jazz band
instrumentation plus a teacher's part.

H Instant Warm-upsMichael Sweeney. Take a
look at this! Michael Sweeney has drawn upon his
years of teaching experience to create this easy-
to-use set of warm-ups designed for beginning
groups. Each of the eight short, simple exercises
focuses on a specific jazz concept or scale.
The parts are easy to read, with no complicated
instructions or diagrams. The full score includes
additional helpful hints for the director. Use two or
three of these at the start of each rehearsal and
watch your band improve!

n Jazzers - Start Your Instruments!Paul
Clark. Start your jazz ensemble rehearsals and
performances right with these "to the point"
and very playable warm-ups for jazz band. An
established routine is an important part of learning
- these are written by a writer who has had 32
years experience in public school teaching. There's
opportunity for all to experiment with improvising in
the safe environment of the rehearsal room. The
slur exercises will develop the brass "chops"; the
tuning warm-up will get the players listening; and
the variety of styles (swing, rock, legato ballad) will
get the band ready for a productive rehearsal or
stellar performance. Warm-ups are the right place
to ensure that your "Jazz Engine" will run long and
play hard! Our highest recommendation!
10050254 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . E 45.00
n Warm-ups for Beginning Jazz Ensemble
Chris Sharp. Finally, a great set of warm-ups for
your beginning jazz ensemble. And, these are
tune-ups as well as warm-ups. An excellent way
to get your young jazz ensemble primed to play the
charts they will perform! These employ the same
hip voicings and rhythmic licks as found in actual
arrangements, in a variety of styles. Designed to
teach the different harmonies, styles, and rhythms
of popular and traditional jazz, they include are
chorales with extended harmonies, rock, swing,
and bossa styles. Perfect to "wake up" your
ensemble before a rehearsal or performance!

n Warm-Ups for Developing Jazz Ensemble
Chris Sharp. This set of five warm-ups is a great
way to get your players mentally and physically
prepared to roar! Beginning with a warm-up
chorale, the tunes build in intensity and difficulty,
but stay within the appropriate difficulty ranges.
Featuring varied styles, these nice and easy tunes
are an ideal way to help your students get a handle
on the figures and genres they will encounter as
they play performance charts. Exceptional!
