Pop Hits medium to advanced / Christmas & Holiday all levels
4 Uptown Funk!arr. Victor Lopez. Just like the
title, this funk/rock chart on the Mark Ronson and
Bruno Mars megahit is loaded with powerful energy!
The tempo is around 112 bpm, there's a written
alto sax solo provided, and it goes all out, all the
time. There are optional band vocals and optional
parts are included for expanded instrumentations.
Go uptown!

n Walk, Don't Runarr. Quincy Jones. If you
want a chart that swings, this is it! This incredible
arrangement by Quincy Jones was recorded by the
great Count Basie Orchestra on their album This
Time By Basie. It's set as a medium-up swing
chart and has amazing ensemble writing with very
playable rhythms and ranges. There's ad lib solo
space for tenor saxophone and a written piano
solo. The arrangement culminates in a smokin'
shout chorus, with drum solo fills, before taking it
to the end. Straight from the Basie book, this is a
must-have for your jazz band library!

The Way We WereMarvin Hamlisch/arr. Mark
Taylor. Celebrate the legend of Marvin Hamlisch
with this terrific, moderate Latin setting of one of
his timeless classics. A trombone soloist is featured
throughout along with a smooth ensemble blend.
An iconic standard!

We Can Work It OutLennon & McCartney/
arr.John Wasson. Reminiscent of the sassy and
funky version recorded by Chaka Kahn, here is a
hot reworking of this classic Beatles hit. Featuring
creative harmonies and sizzling horn riffs, this
is sure to add a spark of energy to any program!
Highly recommended!

Welcome to the Junglearr. Paul Murtha. Hailed
as one of the greatest hard rock songs of all time,
this 1987 hit from Guns N' Roses features familiar
melodies and a relentless drive throughout. Paul
Murtha's hard-hitting arrangement uses the saxes
on the lead and the brass on the signature riffs,
along with terrific interplay within the ensemble.
There's a brief written or improvised solo for alto sax.
Rock the stage with this one! Highly recommended!

Christmas & Holiday
All Levels
4 Adeste Fidelisarr. Richard DeRosa. Arranged
for the WDR Big Band (Germany), Richard
DeRosa has written a beautiful masterpiece on
this traditional Christmas favorite. Scored as a full
ensemble chorale, this moving piece is filled with
fluid cantabile lines, engaging counterpoint, lush
harmonies, interesting modulations and gorgeous
ensemble climaxes. The use of the rhythm section
is kept to a minimum, with only bass and drums/
triangle, as the focus is on a pure chorale sound.
Soaring trumpets glide this Christmas favorite to a
pleasing finale. DeRosa's interpretation of Adeste
Fideles is a fantastic addition to any holiday concert
program, and will surely stun and move your
audiences with its allure.

All I Want for Christmas Is YouCarey &
Afanasieff/arr. John Berry. Originally recorded
by Mariah Carey in 1994, this upbeat Christmas
favorite has become a holiday staple year after year.
John Berry provides a great sounding and accessible
version in a straight-ahead medium swing style with
the melody traded around from section to section.
No solos are required. Highly recommended!

n And the Angels Swing!arr. Paul Clark. You
won't find a better chart for your holiday or winter
concert than this one! A medley that contains three
famous Christmas carols that have "Angels" in
the title, it begins with a medium swing version
of Hark the Herald Angels Sing that features the
whole ensemble. The next section is Angels from
the Realms of Glory which is at a slower tempo in a
ballad style and begins with a short, written solo by
either trombone or tenor sax. The medley ends with
an exciting up tempo version of Angels We Have
Heard on High that features the whole band. This
chart sounds great, has lots of audience appeal and
it's not too difficult, so it won't take up a lot of your
rehearsal time. Very highly recommended!

4 Angels We Have Heard on Higharr. Richard
DeRosa. Set as a bright swinger at about 200
bpm, and originally arranged for the WDR Big
Band (Germany), Richard DeRosa's arrangement
of the traditional Christmas song Angels We Have
Heard on High is an adventure from beginning
to end! Reminiscent of Neil Hefti's arrangement
of Cute for the Count Basie Orchestra, DeRosa
starts off with some interplay between the wind
melody and drums. There's solo space for drums
and piano or guitar, and the lead saxophone is on
soprano. Replace the first "Gloria" section with a
great bebop sax soli and this arrangement already
has audiences waiting to hear what comes next.
Inventive and creative!

n Angels We Have Rocked on Higharr. Chris
Sharp. Capture the infectious energy of Bill Chase
with this aggressive holiday arrangement of Angels
We Have Heard on High. Based on the same
driving rock beat and cascading trumpet figures
that won Chase a legion of fans, this fantastic
arrangement will bring down the house for any
holiday performance. Highly recommended!
