Ballads medium-advanced & advanced / Jazz Ensemble with Vocal Solo
4 Come SundayDuke 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!

n EverlastingGordon Goodwin. As recorded
by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band on the CD
That's How We Roll, but minus the woodwind
doubles, saxes only. Arranged for flexibility, it's
a beautiful solo feature for C instruments, alto
sax, tenor sax, trumpet or trombone with all the
solo parts included. The tempo is easy at 138
bpm and the style is a mellow straight-eighth
groove. The lead trumpet range goes only to
written F-sharp on the top line and flugelhorns
are preferred for the trumpet section if possible.
Everlasting is very accessible as a solo feature
and has a gorgeous melody!

H Georgia on My MindHoagy Carmichael/
arr. Sammy Nestico. From Ray Charles to Doc
Severinson, everyone has a different approach to
this bluesy ballad, but nobody does it like Sammy
Nestico! When he adds his masterful touch, the
result is a chart that is destined to be a classic.
While it's an alto sax feature, this is a chart
that every member of the band will love for it's
exquisite harmonic approach and unmistakable
melodic lines.

H GraceJones & Lubbock/arr. Quincy Jones &
Sammy Nestico. From the acclaimed CD Basie &
Beyond comes this emotional ballad for tenor or
soprano sax that will touch the hearts of performers
and audiences alike. Lush chords and a tender
piano introduction set the mood, and the rest is
simply sensational. Nice!

4 Lifelong FriendsKris 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.
10513940 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 60.00
n Lover Manarr. Bill Holman. This is a beautiful
arrangement by Bill Holman that features alto
saxophone throughout. Set as a straight-eighth
ballad, this chart was originally written for Charlie
Parker to perform with the Stan Kenton Orchestra,
but it was eventually recorded with Lee Konitz. The
ensemble writing is very playable with no range
concerns in the brass. If you want to feature an
outstanding alto sax student or a guest artist (the
solo is mostly chord symbols), this is an easy
tune to put together with your band and will be a
spectacular addition to any concert program.
10455868 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 48.00
H My Funny ValentineRichard Rodgers/arr. Bill
Holman. As originally recorded by the great Charlie
Mariano with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, this is
a must-have ballad feature for alto saxophone.
Let your alto player (or trumpet...parts provided
for either) shine on this popular standard!
Instrumentation: 5-5-5-4.

4 One More DreamPatrick Williams. Here is a
wonderful alto saxophone ballad feature by master
composer Patrick Williams. Optional woodwind
doubles are for alto flute and clarinet and there are
optional parts for two horns in F. The ensemble
parts are more accessible than most Williams
compositions and the gorgeous solo melody has
space for the advanced soloist to improvise. A class
act all the way!

The PassageGordon Goodwin. As recorded
by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, this is a
luscious alto sax ballad feature at 74 bpm. It's a
lyrical vehicle with rich harmony and textures,
soaring ensemble figures, and a soli with saxes
(alto 2 optional flute), trumpet 2, guitar, and piano.
An outstanding chart!

H
Round MidnightMonk & Williams/arr. Dave
Wolpe. Dave Wolpe sets this timeless and beautiful
Cootie Williams and Thelonious Monk classic as
a flugelhorn feature. The band and soloist get to
stretch out some in a double time interlude before
returning to the lyrical ballad style. This chart is
everything you would want it to be. Great tune,
great chart! Highly recommended!
10049734 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 60.00
H SamanthaSammy Nestico. Originally written for
and played by Bud Shank, this showpiece for alto sax
features a wide dynamic range and calls for a soft,
smooth approach to background figures. Although
written solo lines are provided throughout, the main
solo chorus includes chord changes for players with
improvisation chops. The chart closes out with a solo
cadenza over a sustained ensemble chord.
10283500 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 56.00
n Sophisticated LadyDuke Ellington/arr. Mike
Crotty. Arranged especially for the USAF Airmen
of Note, this alto sax ballad feature is outstanding
in every respect. The introduction features the
trombones, followed by the alto solo with piano,
development, more alto solo space, some double
time sections, then back to the ballad tempo with the
solo, and a big ensemble ending. The lead trumpet
range is to written high E-flat and there is an optional
5th trumpet part. More than a ballad solo feature,
this is a substantial jazz chart! Highly recommended!

H Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most
Tommy Wolf/arr. Kris Berg. Here's an outstanding
Kenton-style ballad that showcases the lead
trombone and the trombone section. The chart
builds during a 12/8 section that makes it an even
stronger choice as an excellent ballad feature. There
are no improvised solos and lead trumpet range is
to written C above the staff with an optional D sharp.
This one is a wonderful jazz ballad with a twist!
