Blues & Swing medium
4 SanduClifford Brown/arr. Chris Sharp. Clifford
Brown's Sandu has long been a jam-session
staple for anyone that wants to shred some E-flat
blues. Chris Sharp delivers great ensemble writing
that really swings in the chart's blow section. The
familiar melody is featured with a trumpet and tenor
sax duet at the top of the tune and returns with
the duet at the end. Sandu also includes written or
improvised solos for tenor sax and trumpet with a
great "rhythm out" interlude between the solos. As
if that isn't enough, there's an excellent sax section
soli and a roaring shout chorus before the recap!
Our highest recommendation!

4 Saturday Morning BluesMike Tomaro.
Mike Tomaro just takes his time in unfolding this
outstanding study on the blues for big band! At
around 60 bpm, it begins with a laidback solo piano
introduction joined by a trumpet soloist leading to
the first ensemble statement. It begins to get a
little more down and dirty and gradually builds to
the solo section. The solos are all about the blues
with sultry backgrounds. Then the ensemble trades
with the drummer and there's another solo section.
Then the band starts to open up, and builds, and
builds, and builds, all the while just laying back in
that bluesy groove. They don't get any better than
this! Very highly recommended!

n Scrapple from the AppleCharlie Parker/arr.
David Bandman. Big band bebop! This is a great
Charlie Parker classic arranged as a bright swing
chart. The melody is stated by alto, tenor and
trumpet 2 followed by written or ad lib trumpet 2
and tenor 1 solos. There's a full ensemble chorus
and the lead trumpet top note is to written A.
An excellent chart on this "Bird" classic!

Secret LoveSammy Fain/arr. Dave Wolpe.
Featuring the trombone section, Dave Wolpe's
chart on Secret Love just cooks and cooks!
All four trombone parts have written-out solo
sections, there's plenty of section work and nice
ensembles too. The lead 'bone range is to high Bb
and lead trumpet is to written B above the staff.
This is an accessible and terrific chart to showcase
your trombones. Highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

Seven Steps to HeavenDavis & Feldman/
arr. Mike Tomaro. Recorded during the pinnacle
of Miles Davis' career, Seven Steps to Heaven has
become an iconic jazz standard and one of Miles'
best known tunes. Keeping the up-tempo swing
style of the original, this chart soars through the
chord changes with skill and fluency, and features
solos for trumpet and tenor. Suggested solos and
chord/scale sheets in all keys are included. Great
arrangement of a brilliant jazz standard!

Jazz Saxophone Duets (10 Exciting Jazz
Duets)—Greg Fishman.
This book and 3 CD set gives
players an opportunity to experience the excitement
of playing professional level duets with a great rhythm
section, although most are suitable for the solid
intermediate level player. Both saxophonists are actively
involved rhythmically and harmonically throughout
the duets. Offering maximum flexibility, this set gives
saxophonists the choice of playing with two altos, two
tenors, or alto and tenor. Both altos and tenors read the
same written part while the recorded rhythm section
transposes. The play-along CDs feature four different
versions of each duet: both saxophones plus the rhythm
section; second saxophone plus the rhythm section; first
saxophone plus the rhythm section; rhythm section only
with extra choruses for soloing. The extra choruses allow
the players to musically communicate by trading choruses
or phrases during the solo section of the play-along tracks.
