4 Another StoryMike Tomaro. This straight-
eighth fusion chart combines rock and Latin styles
effectively, creating a fresh and modern approach
for developing groups. The written or improvised
solos are for alto sax and piano after the opening
ensemble chorus. The rhythm section parts are fully
notated and will help in creating the groove. With
modest brass ranges, this chart with a cool sound
is great for change-of-pace programming!

n Arnge Drank (Orange Juice with Attitude)
Paul Baker. Wow... orange drink with an attitude!
Texas writer Paul Baker presents an outstanding
funk chart beginning with a piano riff to set up the
rhythm groove before the trumpet and altos hit with
the melody. Trombones and low saxes support with
counterpoint. After the trombones take it through
the bridge the saxes again state the melody in a
dramatic stop time section that moves into the
trumpet and trombone solos. After a drum solo, the
bari and bass trombone shine as they set the funky
foundation for the shout chorus. A return of the
piano riff sets up the final melodic statement and
dramatic coda. Trumpet range to written High C.
Trombone to G. Pure fun, and highly recommended!

4 Attitude AdjustmentRich Woolworth. Here's an
original funk/rock tune that delivers some serious
attitude! With a kickin' bass line doubled in the bass
trombone and bari sax, this gets funky at the top and
just never stops. The solo section, with written or
ad lib solos, moves into a swing feel before getting
back into the funk groove to finish out the tune. Fun
to hear and fun to play! Highly recommended!

Attitude Dance (Little Big Band)arr. Mark
Taylor. Celebrating more than 40 years of funk and
soul, the unmistakable sound of Tower of Power
still sounds as fresh and impressive as ever. This
adaptation for six horns (3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1
trombone) and rhythm section features the blazing
horn lines and driving groove of the original.
Optional parts are included for alto sax, tenor sax
and trombone 2.

l Barbeque RibsMike Carubia. Set at around
96 bpm, here's another winner to follow the
success of the composer's Barbeque Wings and
Barbeque Sauce! Based on slightly altered blues
changes, a funky introduction sets up this great
chart but strays occasionally with some creative
transitional material. The open solo section
features solo space with cued backgrounds and
an optional flute part is included. A really hot big
band funk chart!

n Barbeque SauceMike Carubia. This funk chart
roars right from the beginning with an attention-
grabbing introduction followed by blues-based
melodies with a hip, funky feel. The solos are a
piece of cake with only two chords or one scale
to negotiate. Any player can solo with the solo
scale options included in all parts. Written ranges:
Trumpet 1 to G; Trombone to F; Alto Sax to D.
An optional flute part is included. If you liked this
writer's Buffalo Wings, you'll love his Barbeque
Sauce! Highly recommended!

n BirdlandJosef Zawinul/arr. Victor Lopez. Just
listen to this chart and you know you have to have it
as Victor Lopez brings the original Weather Report
version to life for jazz ensembles. All the ingredients
are here, plus solo space (written or improvised)
for alto 1 and/or trumpet 2, nice chord voicings
throughout, and the lead trumpet top note is only a
written G on top of the staff. Very easy to assemble
and perform, this will be a hit every time! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

H
BlackbirdLennon & McCartney/arr. Mike
Tomaro. Perhaps one of the Beatles' lesser
known tunes, Blackbird remains one of their
most creative and memorable. Mike Tomaro's
smooth setting uses a blend of light funk along
with a brief samba section to create a truly
outstanding effect. The theme is stated simply
in the beginning by trumpet, followed by an
array of orchestrational textures and harmonies.
Highly recommended!

n Blues for MilesFreddie Hubbard/arr. Mike
Carubia. Here's a great chart on Freddie
Hubbard's Blues for Miles that really cooks!
Freddie describes this tune as "hip hop funk"
on the original CD also entitled Blues for Miles.
This solid arrangement begins with the trumpets
introducing the very funky unison melody followed
by a cool stop-time chorus for the sax section.
Solos follow for the soloists of choice on slightly
altered B-flat blues changes and then an exciting
rock-flavored shout chorus takes it back to the
head. Including an optional flute part, this is
an outstanding choice for any performance
opportunity! Highly recommended!

4 Boogie on Reggae WomanStevie Wonder/
arr. Mike Tomaro. The heavy influence that Stevie
Wonder had on funk and jazz is clearly evident
in this hit from 1974. Made even funkier in this
version for big band with a tempo slightly slower
than the original, the authentic flavor still shines
through. Written-out bass lines and piano voicings
are included in this great arrangement!

BozJeff Jarvis. Given the widespread popularity
and accessibility of Jeff Jarvis' infectious funk
charts for big band, you'll love this medium difficulty
original. This spirited chart is a tribute to the
legendary songwriter/performer Boz Scaggs and
contains material reminiscent of his great music of
the 1970s and 1980s.

n Brand New CarNeil Yorke-Slader. Inspired by
the composer's purchase of a new Mustang, this
driving rock chart will be a favorite of musicians
and audiences! The simple melody is shared by
members of all horn sections, while the bridge
features a half-time feel, a perfect compliment to
the active melodic figures. A dramatic stop-time
section after the solos sets the perfect stage for
the melodic recapitulation. Rhythm parts are fully
notated. For maximum educational value, solo
chords are provided for all instruments. Written
ranges: trumpet C6, trombone Bb4.

n Brother MisterChristian McBride/arr. Mike
Kamuf. A stop-time development section and a
power shout chorus are but a few of the exciting
features of this straight-eighth groove chart
composed by Christian McBride. Set at a medium
tempo, this hip tune includes written or improvised
solos for alto 1, trumpet 2, tenor 1, and drums.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above the
staff and optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentations. Very cool in a contemporary way!

H Buffalo WingsMike Carubia. This outstanding
funk original is based on two chord changes, I &
IV Dominant chords, making soloing a breeze. A
short interlude, or bridge, provides a break from
the two chords adding interest to the overall effect
of the chart. With hints of Watermelon Man, this
tune features unison melodies and hip harmonies
making it extremely fun to play and hear! Tons of
personality! Highly recommended!

n CaravanDuke Ellington/arr. Mike Tomaro.
You know it as swing, but this is the hot version
recorded by Chicago! Ellington's famous standard
gets a fresh face-lift in this exciting arrangement by
Mike Tomaro!

n Carnival del SoulJames Swearingen. Here's
a high-powered Latin funk/rock chart that really
cooks! It features a very playable written trumpet
solo and plenty of places for the drummer to
shine. Sounding much harder than it is, it's sure to
become a favorite in your repertoire!

n ChameleonHerbie Hancock/arr. Chris Sharp.
Herbie Hancock wrote this funky jazz standard many
years ago, but it still remains a player and audience
favorite with its hip bass line and hot melody. This
modern take on this funk classic has plenty of room
to get your groove on with the famous melody.
There's also room for soloing over the friendly chord
progression or breaking it down with some very hip
ensemble sections. Don't miss the great passage
where the rhythm section drops out and the horns
go it alone. Nice chart on a great standard!

Cheep TricksKris Berg. Yep, you guessed it...
it's a funk chart! "The Chicken" tradition continues
at about 136 bpm. The funk groove is deep, the
solos are written out for tenor and/or guitar, and
the lead trumpet range is to a written A. Do you like
chicken? If so, you'll love this chart!

Jamey Aebersold Jazz, Volume 8 (Sonny Rollins)—Jamey Aebersold.
These tunes represent a large portion of the jazz player's vocabulary and all
are considered jazz standards. The songs range from simple to complex, slow
tempos to fast. The chord changes on several tunes are such that even the novice
improviser can solo using a single scale such as the blues or pentatonic, yet
intermediate and advanced players will have plenty of challenges playing on the
flowing and natural chord changes. Others present a greater challenge, with faster
tempos, 3/4 time signatures and alternating grooves. Titles include: Doxy; Oleo;
Saint Thomas; Pent Up House; Blue Seven; Airegin; Valse Hot; Tenor Madness and
Solid. Level: Intermediate/Advanced.
