Blues & Swing medium-easy
n Killer Joe (Cool Joe, Mean Joe)Golson &
Jones/arr. Lisa DeSpain. Lisa Despain steps a little
outside the box with this very clever and original
treatment of this well-known jazz standard. Written
by Benny Golson and Quincy Jones, she had great
material to work with! This chart will mesmerize
you, yet swing all the way with written tenor sax and
trumpet solos and a lead trumpet range to written
G on top of the staff. Well-arranged and fresh, this
one will grab you and stay with you for sure. We
just can't hear it enough! Highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

n Killer on the KeysLarry Neeck. A smokin',
rock 'n rollin' romp, Killer on the Keys features your
keyboard player a la Jerry Lee Lewis, the "Killer"
himself. All the riffs and solos are completely written
out, so that your budding keyboardist will feel right
at home with the bluesy rock 'n roll shuffle style.
Although the keys are featured, this full-sounding
arrangement has plenty of licks for the rest of the
band, including a section for written or improvised
solos. Hammering the ivories, your soloist, band,
and audience will find this is a "killer" of a tune!
Highly recommended!

n Lester Leaps InLester Young/arr. Rich Sigler.
This great tune by legendary saxophonist Lester
Young makes the perfect jazz chart! It's a simple
and familiar riff melody on rhythm changes that
lends itself to many familiar jazz quotes and
licks everybody knows. Arranger Rich Sigler
incorporates some clever musical devices to create
an interesting yet accessible chart. A tenor sax
solo is written out and the lead trumpet range is to
written G on top of the staff. Highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

4 Let's Have Some FunPaul Clark. Let's Have
Some Fun is a bright, infectious swing chart that
cooks from start to finish. It's a great way to get
your jazzers swinging, it's fun, and there's an open
solo section. The energy meter will be pegged when
your band plays this one. Hey...let's have some fun!
10457917 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00
n Let's Keep a Good Thing Goin'Paul Clark.
At around 152 bpm, here's a swinging, happy toe
tapper in the Basie tradition that just won't quit,
and is a great concert or contest selection for mid
level bands! A written piano solo starts things out,
followed by one, or all of the saxes introducing the
melody. Then the brass join in and the full ensemble
plays to a basic 12-bar blues solo section for any
instrument. The ensemble sections, solis and
dynamics that follow are first rate and provide lots
of contrast and excitement. There's even more than
one shout chorus. Just when you think it's over, it
keeps a good thing goin'!

n Li'l DarlinNeal Hefti. Composed and arranged
by Neal Hefti, this is the original chart that says
just about everything there is to say about relaxed,
laid-back swing! No good jazz library is complete
without this incredibly good chart!

n Love Is Here to StayGeorge Gershwin/arr. Paul
Baker. Paul Baker has set this wonderful Gershwin
standard in a swingin' Basie style. Featuring
excellent sax solis, written or improv solos for
trumpet 2 and alto 1, a superb shout chorus, and
a lead trumpet range up to written G on top of the
staff, this chart swings so naturally, it almost plays
itself! Parts are included for optional expanded
instrumentation. Highly recommended!

n Manhattan Dance PartyMike Carubia. Get out
the poodle skirts and zoot suites for this retro swing
original! It swings hard in the 1940s tradition and
offers jazz bands and audiences a chance to learn
and enjoy the big band style of yesterday. Written
solos and an optional flute part are included.
Ranges: Trumpet 1 to Bb; Trombone to F; Alto Sax
to B. Fun to play!
10370705 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 47.00
n Mr. GK (A Tribute to Gene Krupa)Mike
Carubia. Drum features have always been a big
crowd pleaser in the jazz idiom. This outstanding
tribute to the original big band drum star, Gene
Krupa, features a short, written trumpet solo with
plunger, but this exceptional chart is primarily a
drum feature with solid big band ensemble sections
to drive it along. Full of audience appeal, it's a big
band extravaganza set in the style of the famous
Krupa swing tunes of yesteryear. An optional flute
part is included and the written ranges are: Trumpet
1 to A; Trombone to G; Alto Sax to E.

4 The Mudbug StrutPaul Baker. A New Orleans
street parade comes to life with this chart! A
2nd line snare drum beat drives the Dixie-based
ensemble, complete with tailgate trombone. There
are written solos for trombone, alto sax, plunger
trumpet, and bass, and tuba may be substituted for
the bass for even more authenticity. An additional
clarinet part is included as well. An exchange
between the drums and ensemble leads to a roll
off that launches the shout section and traditional
ending. The trumpet range goes to written high G
and trombone to F. Highly recommended!

NardisMiles Davis/arr. Paul Murtha. The
definitive recording of this jazz classic is by Bill
Evans, with other notable recordings by Cannonball
Adderley and Joe Henderson. Paul Murtha's
arrangement for developing groups features a Latin
style on the head then switches to swing on the
bridge. This really nice chart also includes very
effective writing for all sections of the band as well
as written or improvised solo space for alto sax.
Highly recommended!

H
A Nasty Bit of BluesDoug Beach. You'll feel
nasty but sound great on this cookin' blues number!
A straight ahead swing tempo drives some really
great licks, including a really hot unison band line
that sounds much harder than it really is. A big
shout chorus and a short drum solo at the end
round things out, and there's an open solo section
with room for any of your players to stretch out. Also
includes a separate solo sheet for guidance.

New York State of MindBilly Joel/arr. John
Berry. First recorded by Billy Joel in 1976, this
timeless classic was never a hit on the charts,
but over the years has become a fan favorite and
boasts countless covers from a diverse range
of artists including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett,
Barbra Streisand, The Muppets, and the cast of
"Glee." Here is a terrific medium swing setting
playable by young jazz ensembles that is sure to be
a hit with audiences everywhere!

On Green Dolphin StreetBronislau Kaper/arr.
Frank Mantooth. A funky bass line leads into this
terrific arrangement of the famous standard, which
shifts between Latin and swing in a delightfully
funky way! This chart takes the tune where it has
never gone before, and it really likes going there!
Faithful to the original yet creative and fresh, it's a
great way to feature your ensemble, with written-
out or ad lib solo space for trumpet, tenor and
trombone. Highly recommended!

n One More for the CountMike Lewis. Count
Basie himself would be happy to know this fine
chart is named in his honor! It even has the Count's
signature closing piano figure. You won't find a
better example of the Basie style in an original chart
at the medium-easy level. This is very sweet and
very swingin'! Highly recommended!

H Orange SherbertSammy Nestico. Originally
recorded in 1975 by Count Basie and titled
because Basie loved orange sherbert, this
fresh setting features easy registers, strong
jazz figures, and a bright, free swinging style. A
written or ad lib trumpet solo in the midsection
and an ensemble shout before the final chord
are highlights. The rhythm section parts are
notated with chords cued, and a guitar chord
chart is included.

l Out of Nowhere (Little Big Band)Johnny
Green/arr. Rick Stitzel. In this medium swing
setting for little big band, Rick Stitzel divides the
ensemble between upper and lower voices as they
trade phrases back and forth. This helps create the
effect of a much larger ensemble and adds variety
throughout. Also included are solos for trumpet
and tenor sax with chord/scale sheets in all keys
included. Instrumentation: 3 saxes, 2 trumpets,
1 trombone and rhythm section with optional
additional parts for alto, tenor and trombone.

World War II hit song and here it is scored for young players. This chart has
no individual solos, very modest brass ranges and plenty of ensemble sound.

reduced or expanded instrumentation. A winner!

Star Spangled Banner—arr. Paul Clark. Although this piece is not usually
associated with jazz bands, this arrangement works so well it can appropriately
be included in any jazz concert. It's also invaluable to have in the files for
those "emergency" situations where a jazz group is called upon to perform
our National Anthem. It includes just the right elements to give it a jazz flavor,
yet maintains the dignity and reverence of the original. While it is harmonically
jazzy, it is rhythmically traditional and can serve as accompaniment for audience
singing. It is also playable with reduced instrumentation. If your jazz ensemble
plays for basketball games, this is perfect. A wise investment for all jazz
programs! Highly recommended!
