4 Baby Elephant WalkHenry Mancini/arr. Mike
Tomaro. Everyone knows this Henry Mancini
favorite, but not like this! Mike Tomaro has gleefully
twisted the well-known melody into a New Orleans-
style second line groove for jazz ensemble! The
signature bass line is still there (well, sort of), and
is augmented with riffs and punches by various
sections of the band. Including a flexible solo
section and also a full ensemble shout, this chart is
a real treat! Suggested solos, chord/scale sheets in
all keys, written-out bass lines and piano voicings
are all included. Highly recommended!

from the first note. The features include written solo
trombone at the top, great lower voice writing, and

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!

4 Boogie on Reggae WomanStevie Wonder/
arr. Mike Tomaro. The heavy influence that Stevie

than the original, the authentic flavor still shines
through. Written-out bass lines and piano voicings
are included in this great arrangement!

Eleanor RigbyLennon & McCartney/arr. Eric
Richards. Commissioned by the U.S. Army Jazz

laid-back feel. A piano solo is featured off the top,

the head, and later solo space for one or more of
these players. A brief nod to the classical feel of the

made famous by Royal Crown Revue. The groove
is set up with a drum solo laying down a Sing, Sing,
Sing Krupa feel before the band enters. A trumpet
with plunger solo leads into a sax soli section. Next,
the trumpet section is featured on a soli section
before a half-time feel gives the brass a chance
to shine. Returning to the original groove, a written
solo for tenor sax heightens the excitement. Finally,
there's an open drum solo before the band enters
and takes it on home. Pure excitement!
