Tomorrow Is Always a Good Day—
Paul Clark.
Tomorrow Is Always a Good Day is a
sensational ballad feature for solo trombone or tenor
saxophone. This lovely composition begins in a
minor key, keeps building to a modulation to major,
then builds to a huge, powerful finish! The features
include an impressive and accessible solo part,
full and lush ensemble support, and an effective
ensemble-only interlude. Truly a memorable chart at
this or any grade level! Highly recommended!

Come Sunday—Duke Ellington/
arr. John Fedchock.
Now in print for the first
time, this was originally written in 1987 for the
Richard Stoltzman album titled Ebony, featuring the
Woody Herman Big Band. Duke Ellington's Come
Sunday featured Stoltsman as a clarinet soloist.
John Fedchock modified it sometime later to make
it a baritone saxophone solo feature and added
a trombone 4 part to cover the original baritone
sax part. Fedchock's chart is absolutely gorgeous
featuring lush harmonies, a few woodwind doubles,
beautiful ensemble sections, and a double-time
section for the ensemble. The baritone sax solo is
both written and improvised and features a wonderful
cadenza at the end. Highly recommended!

Wave—Antonio Carlos Jobim/
arr. Michael Mossman.
Here's one of the most
tuneful of Jobim's many familiar Latin standards
in a marvelous setting featuring a baritone sax
soloist. The style is a laid-back Latin groove and the
arrangement includes a wealth of creative harmonic
and textural devices. To round things out, it also
includes a sax soli and a lush tutti ensemble chorus.
A great way to feature your bari sax soloist!

Bye, Bye Blackbird—Dixon & Henderson/
arr. Dave Rivello.
Arranger Dave Rivello arranged
this great tune in a nice and easy, relaxed, swing
genre to showcase the 2nd trumpet in the style of
Miles Davis. Featuring the trademark Miles' harmon
mute sound throughout the chart, Dave provides
a written (or ad lib) solo, tasty backgrounds and
a very hip shout chorus for medium level players.
The arrangement is sensitive to the quietness of the
harmon muted trumpet sound. Feature your young
trumpet star on this one and have a "cool" moment
in your concert! Highly recommended!

Feels So Good—Chuck Mangione/
arr. Victor Lopez.
Only rarely does a jazz tune
cross over to the pop charts the way this Chuck
Mangione classic did back in the seventies!
Flugelhorn solo on the 1st trumpet part is featured
throughout with the distinctive melody and then with
a written or ad lib solo along with a tenor solo. The
flugelhorn solo range is up to an optional written high
C, but the solo is cued on the 1st tenor part as well.
Victor's arrangement brings this contemporary gem
within the range of the developing trumpet player
without losing any of the hip appeal of the original.
Here's a perennially appealing, samba/rock chart that
will provide outstanding performance opportunities
for your band and soloist! Highly recommended!

Lifelong Friends—Kris Berg. Kris Berg has
composed a beautiful, sensitive and mature solo
feature for B-flat, E-flat instruments or trombone.
The ensemble is equally important in this setting
at around 74 bpm that transitions from the ballad
style to a double-time section with the soloist
and then back to the ballad style. While the solo
part is written, there are ample opportunities for
improvisation. The lead trumpet range is to written
high C. This is an outstanding chart and ideal vehicle
for your advanced soloist.
