n Act Your Age—Gordon Goodwin/arr. Peter Blair.
Arranger Peter Blair has taken the hot Gordon
Goodwin chart Act Your Age and revised it for
developing players. "Slick and funky" describes
this very accessible arrangement. There are written
solos for 1st alto (cued for 2nd alto) and a 1st
trumpet solo cued in all four trumpet parts. The
lead trumpet has a written A above the staff, but
technically this chart is not difficult and will come
together quickly to earn a spot in your program.
The band will love it, too! Highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

n Arnge Drank (Orange Juice with Attitude)—
Paul Baker. Wow... orange drink with an attitude!
Texas writer Paul Baker presents an outstanding
funk chart beginning with a piano riff to set up
the rhythm groove before the trumpet and altos
hit with the melody. Trombones and low saxes
support with counterpoint. After the trombones
take it through the bridge the saxes again state
the melody in a dramatic stop time section that
moves into the trumpet and trombone solos. After
a drum solo, the bari and bass trombone shine as
they set the funky foundation for the shout chorus.
A return of the piano riff sets up the final melodic
statement and dramatic coda. Trumpet range
to written High C. Trombone to G. Pure fun, and
highly recommended!

l Can You Dig It?—George Shutack. This trendy
original features a funky rock groove that students
will love to play over and over. Add to that a strong
melody with solid ensemble voicings, and you have
a chart that's ideal for young jazz players. Scored
for four horns with rhythm section and expandable
to full big band, written or improvised solos for all,
and optional parts for flute, clarinet and horn in F
are included. You will dig it!

H Chameleon—Herbie Hancock/arr. Victor Lopez.
Herbie Hancock for the developing band? Yes!
From Hancock's famous Headhunter recording,
here is a great opportunity to play the biggest
jazz-rock hit of all time. The melody is first played
by alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone, then the
trumpet section. Next up is a flexible, open solo
section with a solo line written for all the winds so
anybody or everyone can solo! The top note for
lead trumpet is written G on top of the staff. Super-
cool chart! Optional expanded instrumentation.

4 Cheep Tricks—Kris Berg. Yep, you guessed it...
it's a funk chart! "The Chicken" tradition continues
at about 136 bpm. The funk groove is deep, the
solos are written out for tenor and/or guitar, and
the lead trumpet range is to a written A. Do you like
chicken? If so, you'll love this chart!

n The Chicken—Alfred Ellis/arr. Mike Story. The
original version of The Chicken was released in
2001 and has been a top seller every year. Now
Mike Story has arranged it for younger jazz groups
without losing the original style and infectious fun!
Beginning with a gospel style chorale introduction,
the band transitions into a funky rock groove with
an easy-to-play and hip bass line. This outstanding
chart for young jazz bands features a 16-bar
suggested alto sax solo and easy trumpet 1 range
to written E top space. Playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentations. Don't miss
it! Our highest recommendation!

H The Chicken—Alfred James Ellis/arr. Kris
Berg. If you've got a strong bassist, this is your
showstopper! This chart, made famous by bass
virtuoso Jaco Pastorius, gets kicking with a killer
gospel chorale, but is soon interrupted by one of
the funkiest bass lines ever played! Soon the entire
band is in on it with a Tower of Power-style sound
that is sure to impress everyone listening!
