Alianza—Erik Morales. "Alianza," the Spanish word for alliance, is represented here through the high-energy
blending of Latin and swing styles. The main melody seamlessly integrates the two styles. There is a written-out
jazz solo for trumpet 2 and every section of the band is featured at some point. The lead trumpet range is to
written A above the staff. Optional parts included for flute, horn in F, baritone/tenor sax, tuba and percussion.
A refreshing challenge! Highly recommended!

Autumn Leaves—Joseph Kosma/arr. Peter Blair. This is a great old tune! Except...there's nothing "old"
sounding about it. It's a medium swing version of a marvelous, often-played standard that opens with an alto
and trumpet duet and is filled with tight ensemble punches. The saxes are featured on a chorus and there is a
written or ad lib solo for piano.

Black Orpheus—Luiz Bonfa/arr. Eric Richards. Here's a super high-energy Latin samba arranged by
Eric Richards that is the perfect opener or closer for any performance. There are solo opportunities for tenor
sax, baritone sax, 2nd trombone and drums. This is a powerhouse chart that features tons of cookin' rhythm,
a melody that floats above great counterpoint and a magnificent trumpet section soli that really brightens things
up. Exciting festival chart!

C-Jam Blues—Duke Ellington/arr. Rick Stitzel. Whether you know this one as C-Jam Blues or Duke's
Place, you sure will recognize all the great Ellington writing! Even the most inexperienced bands can do a
fine performance on this jazz classic. The suggested solos are included in the parts for the entire section,
so you can make it a soli feature if you prefer. There's a marvelous ensemble tutti section that starts softly
then builds to the end.

Cantaloupe Island—Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike Kamuf. Arranger Mike Kamuf scored this hip, funky
Latin-rock tune for younger players. Ideal for this level, it features three chords, a repetitive groove, catchy
melody and a hot bari sax part. There are written solos for tenor sax and trumpet, and the lead trumpet range
goes to a top line F with optional G on top of the staff. This chart will also sound great with optional or expanded
instrumentation. This is a superb chart from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

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.

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!

Critical Mass—Jeff Jarvis. Here's a chart that everybody's gonna like! It's a straight-ahead funk chart with an
infectious beat, popping bass, cool sax licks and hard brass pops. If you've tried Jeff's other funk charts, you're
going to want this one. And if you haven't, you'd better get started! Definitely a hip, groovin' tune that better
bands will get into!

Drama for Your Mama—Victor Lopez. This fun rock chart for beginners has all the right stuff...
easy rhythms and ranges, and a solo section that's completely notated for all the winds. The solos can also be
played as unisons in any combination of instruments or sections. Playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations, it's easy to put together, very effective and has great appeal for the young player.
Highly recommended!

I Just Can't Wait to Be King—Elton John/arr. Gordon Goodwin. From the Disney movie "The Lion King,"
Gordon Goodwin has crafted a hot jazz shuffle that goes and then goes even more! A showcase for alto and
trumpet with a unison melody line and solo space for each player, it includes plenty of energy, zip, attitude and
a hot shout chorus section. This chart roars! Highly recommended!
