Blues & Swing medium-advanced
The Jazz Me BluesTom Delaney/arr.
Brent Wallarab. Originally written in 1920 by
Tom Delaney and recorded over the years by
Bix Beiderbecke, the Original Dixieland Jazz
Band and many others, this medium-advanced
swing/Latin setting commissioned by IMEA for
the 2015 Illinois All-State Jazz Ensemble gives
the tune a contemporary attitude for a whole
new generation of jazz musicians. Scoring
calls for 5th trumpet and SATTB saxophones;
however, an optional alto sax substitute part for
soprano is included.

n JeannineDuke Pearson/arr. Mike Dana. A great
jazz standard played around 178 bpm, this swing
chart features alto sax with a suggested written solo
provided, and a drum solo played in between band
hits. The lead trumpet range is to written high C. An
optional vibraphone part is included.

n Jody GrindHorace Silver/arr. John Clayton. The
funky stylings of Horace Silver are featured in this
energetic arrangement from the Clayton-Hamilton
Jazz Orchestra. A trumpet and tenor sax duet starts
it off, followed by ensemble punches and solos for
tenor and trombone. The entire ensemble gets into
the act as the chart roars to a climactic finish.

n JoshuaVictor Feldman/arr. Mark Taylor.
Composed by pianist Victor Feldman, this jazz
standard has been popular with recording artists
ever since Miles Davis famously introduced it back
in 1963. Written in an up-tempo swing style and
featuring the riff-like melody surrounded by full
ensemble statements, this well-crafted chart is
certain to become a staple in the repertoire for jazz
groups. Highly recommended!

H Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!Jule
Styne/arr. Gordon Goodwin. In the style of Basie
and Hefti, this Gordon Goodwin adaptation of the
wonderful holiday classic is set in a medium swing
style. Not a drum showcase, but the drummer has
plenty of solo space beginning on brushes, then to
sticks as the intensity rises. There is a flute part on
second alto (can be omitted) and a percussion part
for vibes. The optional solo space is for alto, tenor,
trumpet, trombone, and the lead trumpet range is
to written high E. A great sax section soli rounds out
this excellent chart. This one is so nice, you'll want
to play it year 'round! Highly recommended!

4 The LickSteve Brown. Inspired by a YouTube
video collage of jazz soloists playing a common
sequence of notes, this piece uses "the lick" in a
variety of unison and harmonized permutations.
A medium swinger with a jazz intro, it heads right
into a sax soli on a nice linear melodic line. The solos
are for piano, tenor, or anyone, followed by a big,
swinging ensemble feature. The great orchestration
and catchy rhythmic figures all but guarantee the
band will have as much fun as the audience!

l Love Is Here to StayGeorge Gershwin/arr.
Craig Skeffington. Craig Skeffington begins his
chart on this Gershwin classic with a cool rubato
intro featuring flugelhorn and saxes without the
rhythm section. After the introduction the chart
turns into a hot swinger, then there's a quieter
statement of the melody traded between the saxes
and brass. To top it all off, there's a great sax soli
and suggested or ad lib solos for tenor and alto. An
ideal festival chart!

4 Love Is Here to StayGeorge Gershwin/arr.
Mark Taylor. Set in a medium-tempo Basie-style
swing, this chart is a study in effective writing
for the entire ensemble. From the small group
passages contrasted with full ensemble scoring
to the sax soli sections with brass responses, this
chart is a gem! Suggested or improvised solos are
included for trumpet and tenor sax, along with
written bass lines and piano voicings. Gershwin at
his finest! Highly recommended!
10522898 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 55.00
n Magic FleaSammy Nestico. This bright swing
original has served as a "rite of passage" for
many big bands. Sammy Nestico's style marking
of "moocho fasto" sets the pace for an exciting
ride through winding melodies and solidly scored
ensemble writing. Solo space is offered to tenor
saxophone and drums.

n Makin' WhoopeeWalter Donaldson/arr. Dave
Wolpe. Bass trombone players can count on one
hand the good charts available for their instrument.
Well, here is one of the best yet arranged by Dave
Wolpe in the style of the great George Roberts.
With a medium-swing feel, this showcase will
bring out the best in your bass trombone player
with no improvisation, just written melody. There is
some written or improvised jazz for 2nd trumpet in
harmon mute, and the lead trumpet has a unison
line to written high E. A nice sax soli is the icing on
the cake. An outstanding feature chart!

4 Come Fly with Me—arr. Billy Byers. Billy Byers'
arrangement of Come Fly With Me was recorded on the
Basie band's album Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the
Hits of Frank Sinatra. Set in an up-tempo swing feel, Byers
hits it hard at the top and doesn't let up until the end of
the chart! The interplay between saxophones and brass is
clever and energetic, while the full ensemble writing is the
classic Basie sound at its finest. There is solo space for
tenor sax with fantastic ensemble backgrounds throughout
much of it. No jazz library is complete without this classic
Count Basie chart which is flawlessly written in the classic
swing style!

Come Fly with Me—Jimmy Van Heusen/
arr. John Berry.
Most notably recorded by Frank Sinatra,
here is the familiar Jimmy VanHeusen standard effectively
arranged for developing jazz ensembles. The style is an
effortless-sounding medium swing, and this chart makes it
enjoyable for listeners and players alike!

Come Fly with Me—Jimmy Van Heusen/
arr. Quincy Jones/ed. Tomaro.
The swingin' Quincy
Jones arrangement of this standard was a Frank Sinatra
signature tune. Here's the authentic version edited and
adapted for today's bands by Mike Tomaro. Key: B-Flat.

Fly Me to the Moon—arr. Quincy Jones.
For the first time, here is Quincy Jones' arrangement
originally written for the 1964 Sinatra/Basie studio
collaboration It Might As Well Be Swing. This chart was also
used a few times during the 1965 Sinatra/Basie summer
tour and then at the famous 1966 "Live at the Sands"
concert. This publication comes from the original parts.
Alto 1 and Tenor 1 double on flute. As was customary for
these recordings, Harry "Sweets" Edison would play fills
throughout the arrangement and typically didn't have a part.
The fill spots are in the trumpet 4 part, although they are not
written out. Vocal Key: C. Highly recommended!

A Foggy Day (In London Town)—George Gershwin/
arr. Mark Taylor.
If you're looking for a great-sounding
medium swing tune for younger players that features tutti
rhythms, this is the perfect chart for you! Even though
there are brief written or ad lib solos for trumpet and
tenor sax, the primary focus is on the full ensemble. This
version is playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations, and the bass lines and piano voicings
are entirely written. You can't get much better than George
Gershwin and Mark Taylor!

I'll Never Smile Again—arr. Billy Byers. Billy Byers'
arrangement of I'll Never Smile Again takes one back to a
time when dancing to a slow swing tune, played by a live
big band in a ballroom filled with amazing sounds, was the
absolute best part of any weekend! Originally recorded by
the Count Basie Orchestra on their album Frankly Basie:
Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra, Byers' chart
uses the full ensemble to state the melody complete with
a scattering of Basie fills, followed by a written Basie
piano solo. There is also written solo space for trombone
before the band enters in its full power and leads it to the
quintessential Basie ending. This chart is a must-have!

I've Got You Under My Skin—Cole Porter/
arr. Bill Cunliffe.
Here's a medium swinger on this iconic
Cole Porter standard with an easygoing feel at about
132 bpm. Featuring great ensemble passages as well as
written or improvised solos for tenor sax, trumpet, and alto
sax with an alto cadenza, it includes a sweet shout chorus,
nice development, and a written trumpet range to B-flat.
Oh, so nice!

I've Got You Under My Skin (from Live at the
Sands)—Cole Porter/arr. Quincy Jones.
Now for the first time in print, this publication is based on
Nelson Riddle's original set of parts used by Frank Sinatra
for the 1956 session with Quincy Jones' modifications
for the Live at the the Sands album. This arrangement
follows Riddle's very closely, but there are no saxophone
doubles, and Jones' adaptation places the original string
parts in the saxophone section. Also included is the big
full ensemble section with the famous trombone solo
before returning to the chorus. No chart says "Sinatra" like
this one! Highly recommended!

Night and Day—Cole Porter/arr. Dave Wolpe.
Night and Day never sounded so good! Here's a solo
vocal feature with jazz ensemble arranged in the Sinatra
style with a tenor sax solo and superb ensemble writing.
It's arranged in two keys for vocal flexibility... just flip the
page for the best key for the vocalist. Vocal solo ranges:
female key (low) key of C, G below middle C to 3rd space
C; male key (high) of Eb, Bb below middle C to top space
Eb, treble clef. An excellent chart on this timeless standard!
Highly recommended!

The Second Time Around (Edited Version)—
arr. Billy Byers.
Much like the arrangements of Quincy
Jones, Billy Byers provided the Basie band with some of
their best music ever recorded. From their album Frankly
Speaking: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra,
Byers' arrangement of The Second Time Around is a slow
swingin' masterpiece. This is a great dynamic chart that will
stretch the group to play both very loud and very soft, and is
definitely an all-time favorite. In this edited version, the high
brass parts have been eliminated, the trumpet and piano
solos have been written out, and the rhythm section parts
are fully notated. Every band should have this in their library!
