Blues & Swing medium-easy
n Sack of Woe (Sack o' Woe)Julian Adderley/
arr. Mike Kamuf. This great tune by Cannonball
Adderley combines a soulful, straight-eighth groove
with a swing feel at a tempo anywhere from 138
to 160 beats per minute. Arranger Mike Kamuf
delivers another great chart that is super-fun to
play, easy to rehearse and very effective. Features
include written or ad lib solos for alto 1 and trumpet
2, lead trumpet range to written G, well notated
rhythm section parts, and a killer shout chorus.
It's a terrific chart! Our highest recommendation!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

n Saint Louis BluesW.C Handy/arr. Mike Collins-
Dowden. This very playable rendition of the early
blues classic opens with a sultry trumpet solo and
then breaks into a medium tempo shuffle with a
call and response section between the solo trumpet
and ensemble. Also featured are a nice sax section
soli, an open solo section on everybody's favorite
Bb blues changes, and a break strain. Nice chart
without being difficult!

n Salt PeanutsGillespie & Clarke/arr. Mark
Taylor. Playing jazz should be fun and this carefully
constructed arrangement for younger players will
certainly add the "fun" element! Alto and trumpet
take the melody at the top, then the rest of the band
joins in for a lively, swingin' romp! Here's a great
introduction to this revered standard!

4 ScootTim Fisher. Rich Woolworth's bluesy
medium-tempo shuffle chart is the perfect tune for
developing ensembles to pay their dues on the blues
in F. There's ad lib solo space for alto, tenor, trumpet
or trombone that features a big ensemble build up to
the solo to give the soloists some extra confidence.
Next the tune goes through a nice ensemble section
featuring unison rhythms throughout the band with
short piano solo licks in between. With limited ranges
(the lead trumpet never goes above F-sharp), limited
brass instrumentation (three trumpets and three
trombones), and easy rhythms, this chart is great for
almost any performance. Additional features include
a modulation and nice dynamic contrasts. Scoot
swings hard in an uncomplicated way!

n The Second Time Around (Edited Version)
arr. Billy Byers. Much like the arrangements of
Quincy Jones, Billy Byers provided the Basie band
with some of their best music ever recorded. From
their album Frankly Speaking: Count Basie Plays
the Hits of Frank Sinatra, Byers' arrangement
of The Second Time Around is a slow swingin'
masterpiece. This is a great dynamic chart that
will stretch the group to play both very loud and
very soft, and is definitely an all-time favorite. In
this edited version, the high brass parts have been
eliminated, the trumpet and piano solos have been
written out, and the rhythm section parts are fully
notated. Every band should have this in their library!
10455884 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00
Shiny StockingsFrank Foster/arr. Sammy
Nestico. Adapted from the version he penned for
The Count Basie Orchestra, Sammy Nestico brings
the signature style and familiar strains to this
fabulous version for developing bands. The solo
spots for piano are completely notated and the tutti
writing for full ensemble is the best there is!

H
Sing, Sing, SingLouie Prima/arr. Victor Lopez.
Yep, this is the Sing, Sing, Sing you know and
love, made famous by Gene Krupa and the Benny
Goodman Orchestra, only arranged for young
players by Victor Lopez. The classic drum solo that
can be opened up for as much excitement as the
crowd can stand, along with a written-out tenor
solo, reasonable brass ranges and lots of meaty
ensembles keep this great chart exciting. It will
also sound full with reduced instrumentation or
with the optional, non-jazz band parts. It's still a
showstopper! Highly recommended!

n Six String ShuffleScott Stanton. Has your
guitar player been waiting for a chance to be
in the spotlight? Then this cookin' blues shuffle
chart is just what you need! The guitar helper part
includes both a written solo and a tablature version
of the same solo. There's also an optional open
solo section that can be opened up for as many
players as desired. Solid background figures by the
ensemble give this a great big sound that will make
your budding B.B. Kings and Eric Claptons sound
like superstars! Highly recommended!
2478481 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00
SolarMiles Davis/arr. Rick Stitzel. One of the
most enduring compositions from Miles Davis' early
career is this medium swing tune recorded on the
1954 album Walkin'. Rick Stitzel uses some nifty
phrase extensions in the beginning, then alternates
the full ensemble with statements by a small group
in this terrific chart for younger players. The solo
space is for trumpet and tenor sax with suggested
solos and chord/scale sheets in all keys included.

South Street BluesJeff Jarvis. Good time
swingin' is the best way to describe this medium-
easy chart set at around 138 bpm. Whether
your ensemble has some experience or is in the
developmental stages, this chart is suitable for
all performance situations, particularly festivals.
All horn sections get to shine, including trumpet
and trombone section solis without rhythm, and
a sax section soli taking it to a discreet finale. All
instruments have interesting parts to play, the parts
are well articulated, the ranges are reasonable, and
the rhythm section parts are notated with chord
symbols provided. Due to the accessible blues
progression, everyone is encouraged to get into the
spotlight using the provided solo sheets. Extremely
nice, and highly recommended!
10455656 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 52.00
n Southside ShuffleHoward Rowe. The tenors
and trombones take the lead and build to a
wide-open, powerhouse finish in this good-time
shuffle chart! It includes an open solo section for
instruments of choice with written or ad lib solos.
Southside Shuffle is a hard-biting, R & B flavored
chart that really kicks!

H
St. Thomas (Little Big Band)Sonny Rollins/
arr. Mark Taylor. Plenty of solid tutti ensemble
scoring is featured in this arrangement for small
group of Sonny Rollins' familiar Latin standard.
The solo section can be opened up for any player
and a tasty unison ensemble chorus follows.
Suggested solos and scale/chord sheets are
included. Highly recommended! Instrumentation: 3
saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone plus rhythm section.
Optional additional parts are included for alto, tenor
& trombone.
10098775 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
H Star Spangled Bannerarr. 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!
10050282 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Stompin' at the SavoyBenny Goodman/arr.
Mike Lewis. Feature your bass player! Arranger
Mike Lewis has taken this classic Benny Goodman
swing tune and turned it into an easy, melodic
showcase for the bass. Mike also provides solo
space with written solos for 1st tenor sax and piano.
The brass ranges are modest and the chart really
swings from beginning to end! Don't let the year go
by without playing this one that sounds great with
electric or acoustic bass. Superb chart!
2702807 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00
Summertime (from "Porgy and Bess")
George Gershwin/arr. Michael Sweeney. Set in a
distinctive medium swing/shuffle groove, Michael
Sweeney's version for younger jazz bands presents
a contemporary styling of this classic song from
"Porgy and Bess." Mixing a variety of ensemble
textures, a stop time solo section, and briefly
slipping into a new key during the final chorus,
this is sure to be a standout f or festival or casual
concert use. Suggested solos are included for tenor
sax and trumpet and chord/scale sheets in all keys
are available. Highly recommended!
10461398 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
Sweet Home ChicagoRobert Johnson/
arr. Roger Holmes. Made famous by The Blues
Brothers, this hard-hitting blues classic is sure
to become an instant favorite with jazz bands
and audiences. A driving shuffle groove and solid
scoring for the entire ensemble are featured
throughout in this great chart that will become a
staple of your library! Highly recommended!

l Swing, Swung, SwungRichard Kane. Swing,
Swung, Swung is a rollicking swing original that

Brian Setzer Orchestra, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and
others. Developing groups will enjoy the fun and
infectious style of this chart. There's an open solo
section and optional parts are included for flute,
clarinet, horn in F and tuba.

n Take FiveDave Brubeck/arr. Mike Lewis.
Take the most famous 5/4 jazz tune ever written
and combine it with a flawless and playable
arrangement for developing jazz band and you've
got a chart that should be in everybody's library!
Dave Brubeck managed to make the 5/4 meter
sound like the most natural thing in the world, and
that's the way it plays, too. Who would've thought
that young players could experience Brubeck's
"Third Stream" jazz?
2381705 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00
n That's How We RollGordon Goodwin/arr. Peter
Blair. Arranger Peter Blair gets it right on this recent
Gordon Goodwin hit featuring accessible rhythms,
written or improvised solos for alto and trumpet
and a catchy melody. While not a trumpet section
feature, the trumpets get most of the spotlight
melody lines with lead trumpet range to written G
on top of the staff with one last note A above the
staff. This great shuffle chart also includes parts for
optional expanded instrumentation. It's good to play
Goodwin! Highly recommended!
10303571 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 44.00
n Things Ain't What They Used to BeMercer
Ellington/arr. Rich Sigler. This is a jazz classic that
every band should have in their library. The chart
is a swing shuffle played at around 116 bpm and
has a very familiar and catchy melody that flows
smoothly from section to section. Also featured
are written out solos for alto sax 1 and trumpet 2
and a lead trumpet range to written F-sharp top
line. Optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentation. A superb arrangement that is
clever and effective in every way!

4 Time Will TellRich Woolworth. Time Will Tell is
an up-tempo, hard-swingin' chart that makes the
perfect opener for any concert, contest, or festival
program! With lots of big-time ensemble hits and
a chance to solo in B-flat, this one will be a band,
audience, and adjudicator favorite. Written or ad lib
solos are included for trumpet and tenor sax, the
ensemble stays busy behind the solos, and there's
a very cool ending! Solid and dynamic!

4 Toe TapperPaul Clark. Want a playable swing
chart with a lot of style and that gets everyone
involved? Paul Clark's Toe Tapper is right in the
pocket! Feeling good at around 132 - 144 bpm,
it's easy to play, practically swings by itself, and
contains well-crafted ensemble and soli writing.
The open solo section for any soloist uses only the
chord changes from the F concert scale, providing
confidence for young soloists. Very nice!
10518281 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00
n Touchin' All the BassesAndy Clark. It's time to
let your bass player get some of the spotlight! This
cool chart is written in three parts, a funky rock,
a slow triple blues, and a hot shuffle. Designed
to showcase the bass player, the band parts
complement the soloist, but allow the bass to be
heard. Each of the sections can be opened for bass
or other solos as desired, or it can be performed
straight through, exactly as written. A very unique
and useful chart!

4 Triple PlayGeorge Shutack. As the title
suggests, successfully subdividing the triplet on all
swing eighth note figures is the key to an exciting
performance of this swinging original. The strong
melody at first stated in unison by an alto, trumpet
and trombone trio, an open written or improvised
solo section, and solid ensemble scoring are
combined to create a chart that will be a definite
bright spot in any program. The saxophone soli after
the solos is bluesy and right on target, then the full
band shouts on the way home. Triple Play is an
accessible, hard-swingin' chart that all will enjoy!

chart where everyone gets a piece of the action!
