88 Basie Street—Sammy Nestico.
Originally written for the Sammy Nestico Dark Orchid
recording and later reprised on A Portrait of Sammy,
this iconic swing chart gives all the solo work to

band tackles a terrific double counterpoint chorus
and carries a full ensemble shout chorus. Altos and
tenors double on flutes.

Apache—Jerry Lordan/arr. John Berry.
Originally recorded in 1961 by Jorgen Ingmann, but
better known for the 1981 recording by The Sugarhill
Gang, this funky hit remains a favorite. Feature your
drummer or an additional percussionist (bongos,
congas, or timbales) on this solid chart scored for
young jazz bands. Playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations, it's highly recommended!

Deep—Steve Brown. Feature your drummer with
this original work paying tribute to drummer Danny
D'Imperio, whose experience is "deep" as he played
with Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson, Chuck
Mangione, the Vanguard Orchestra and others.
Utilizing a bright bebop feel, this chart was inspired
by Victor Feldman's Seven Steps to Heaven, as
recorded by Miles Davis. It's chocked full of bebop
vocabulary and has a challenging soli that lays well
for the saxophones.

Enter Sandman—arr. Roger Holmes.
From heavy metal masters Metallica, this 1991 hit is
one your players can really cut loose on. Arranged
here as a feature for guitar, performance options
are provided for bands without guitar. All of the
signature lines are still here for a rockin' good time!

A Gentle Touch—Paul Clark. This just might be
the best laid-back jazz ballad to come along since
Li'l Darlin'! After a short intro, the melody is played
by a quartet made up of your best players... trumpet,
alto, tenor and trombone. The whole band joins in
for some great ensemble work (with the trumpets
never leaving the staff) which leads to an easy,
but very cool written piano solo. Then more great
ensemble and finally the piano is again featured at
the end. The piano part is completely written out and
the right hand has a single note line throughout. On
top of all this, it will even sound great with reduced
instrumentation. There's nothing high, loud or fast
here, but what a great way to impress an audience
by showcasing your band's ability to play with
A Gentle Touch! Our highest recommendation!
