Jazz Rock & Funk
n Cold Duck Time—Eddie Harris/arr. Erik Morales.
Eddie Harris' Cold Duck Time features a straight
eighth feel and a very hip opening intro lick. This
terrific chart is set in a funky, rock groove at about
132 - 144 bpm and has written or improvised solo
space for alto sax, bari sax, trumpet 2, and guitar.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above the
staff (with an optional B). This chart totally cooks!
Highly recommended!

4 Don't Steal My Stuff—Gordon Goodwin. Gordon
Goodwin wrote this funky chart at the medium
grade level to showcase trumpet 1 and trombone
1. Everything is written out, including the melody
duet, the solos, and the featured trades. The
tempo is very accessible at 160 bpm, it's easy to
assemble, and it's fun to play!

funky rock groove with a hip chord progression, yet
it's very easy to play. It Is What It Is has plenty of
unison harmony, no solos, easy ranges, and is very
effective for the young jazz band. Playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.

band! This classic jazz/rock favorite by Joe Zawinul

an easy rock feel by Mike Story. This chart has a
simple written out piano solo, a trumpet 1 range to
written D fourth line, a tempo at about 100 beats per
minute, and a very catchy melody. Playable with

will sound great and it's easy to play, enough said!
Highly recommended!

4 Night of the Mojito—Andrew Neu. Reminiscent
of the music of Quincy Jones and Henry Mancini
in the 1960s, this catchy boogaloo for advancing
groups is a fun-loving fusion of Brazilian, Afro/
Cuban and American funk influences. The easy
solo changes are based on a minor blues with an
8-bar bridge; while tenor sax and trumpet are the
designated soloists, chords are also cued for alto
sax and trombone.

4 Sideways Walking Dog—Zachary Smith.
Sideways Walking Dog features a Latin/rock groove
at around 180 bpm with very simple rhythms and
a great melody line. Additional features include
easy brass ranges, a written solo for tenor sax, and
written-out drum fills. Clever, plus easy to play, plus
well-written equals a quality chart! Playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.

4 Sticks—Julian Adderley/arr. Mike Kamuf. Oh,
yeah! This great chart on a Cannonball Adderley
classic cooks at around 170 bpm. With a straight-
eighth note groove, everything written out,

and a big juicy shout chorus, it has it all! Highly
recommended!

this straight-ahead, energy-filled rocker where
every section of the band gets to shine. Turnin' Up
the Heat is a powerful chart with an edgy sound
and includes an open solo section for the soloists
of your choosing with improvised or suggested
solos. At around 140 bpm, this chart is fun,
accessible and jazz band approved!

4 Tutu—Marcus Miller/arr. Michael Philip Moss-
man. In 1987 Miles Davis took home the Grammy
award for best jazz instrumental soloist for his
performance of this composition by Marcus
Miller. From the album of the same name, Tutu
is creatively arranged here for full big band in a
sultry hip-hop fusion style 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!

l Uptown Funk!—arr. Paul Murtha. As arranged by
Paul Murtha, this Bruno Mars mega hit retains all
the signature riffs and excitement of the original.
The pop/funk style is a perfect showcase for that
lighter spot in any performance, and the band and
audience will be in the groove. This one is hot!

H Watermelon Man—Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike
Kamuf. Oh yeah! This is a crowd pleaser and a band
pleaser... a win-win! Fun, funky, hip, groovy — call
it what you want, this chart is excellent in every
way... and if you have a decent bari player, he or
she will really love this one. There are written solos
for alto and tenor sax, a stop-time without rhythm
section for the saxes, a fantastic interlude section, a
monster shout chorus, and some short drum fills...
what's not to like!? Very highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.
