Blues & Swing
4 Minor Chant—Stanley Turrentine/arr. Terry
White. This arrangement of a Stanley Turrentine
signature tune is not difficult at all, but it sounds
very sophisticated! The swingin' melody is initially
handled by tenor 1 and trombone 1 and the
tempo is around 140 bpm. There are written or
improvised solos for alto, tenor, trumpet, and
trombone, great dynamic contrasts and a nice
shout chorus that begins softly and builds. This
is a chart that is solid throughout and makes
excellent use of the full ensemble. Optional parts
are included for expanded instrumentations.
Highly recommended!

trumpet and trombone, along with a chorus for

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louie Prima/arr. Victor Lopez.
Yep, this is the Sing, Sing, Sing you know and
love, made famous by Gene Krupa and the Benny
Goodman Orchestra, only arranged for young
players by Victor Lopez. The classic drum solo
that can be opened up for as much excitement
as the crowd can stand, along with a written-out
tenor solo, reasonable brass ranges and lots of
meaty ensembles keep this great chart exciting. It
will also sound full with reduced instrumentation
or with the optional, non-jazz band parts. It's still
a showstopper! Highly recommended!

H Hey Pachuco!—arr. Shane Porter. Your
students and audiences will love this burning
swing tune 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!
