n Message from WestlakeMike Kamuf.
Message from Westlake is a swinger that cooks
right along at about 172 bpm and features a
melody stated by tenor sax 1, bari sax, trumpet
2, trombone 1, and guitar with written out
or improvised solos for those instruments. A
stop-time chorus, an absolutely kickin' shout
chorus, a lead trumpet range to a written B
and optional vibes part make this chart even
better. Additional parts are included for optional
expanded instrumentation. Fabulous chart!
Highly recommended!

Minor Swing from the MiddleBill Liston.
This is one of the nicest minor swing charts we
have heard in years! Aside from the outstanding
ensemble passages that highlight all sections of
the band and wonderful full band ensembles, it has
a great bari sax part. After the solo section for alto
sax and trombone, it returns to the head and a soft
ending. This chart can be programmed anywhere
in your set, but could work exceptionally well as an
opener. Highly recommended!

n Phat and SassyPaul Baker. Phat and Sassy
opens with eight bars of Gene Krupa-style tom-
toms and places this chart solidly in the hard-
swinging big-band genre of Benny Goodman and
Lionel Hampton. The saxes charge in with the
melody which is soon traded back and forth with
the brass sections. Tenor sax, trumpet, and drum
solos over accessible changes follow, leading to
a trombone section riff that builds through the
ensemble. The sax section then takes over for a
swinging soli before returning to a shout chorus
and ending. This chart is a real flag-waver that
teaches the fundamentals of the swing style along
with an historical perspective. A super chart that is
highly recommended!

instrumentation. Scored for 6 horns (3 saxes, 2
trumpets, 1 trombone) plus rhythm section with
optional parts included for alto sax, tenor sax and
trombone. Highly recommended!

even hotter! Dave Wolpe has arranged Rock This
Town almost note for note right off the recording,

this chart will completely energize your kids!
