Angel Eyes—arr. Carl Strommen. Oh, yes! This is a superb setting of the iconic jazz ballad that features
the alto sax star in your band. The alto solo is mostly written with opportunities to improvise around the melody,
and the ensemble gets their chance in the spotlight with some fine full-band passages. The trumpet 1 range is
to written E top space with some optional octave-up sections if desired. At 76 bpm, this chart will allow your alto
soloist to shine!

Any Moment Now—Scott Ninmer. Composed and arranged by Scott Ninmer, staff writer for the U.S.
Army Band, this well-crafted original is a must-have. Rich harmonies and syncopated figures are just a couple
characteristics of this fresh and modern work. Frequent use of staggered entrances promotes independent
playing. The second trumpeter is featured on a portion of the melody, and later during an improvised solo.
This is an ideal change-of-pace chart for any occasion and a great way to feature your trumpet soloist or a
guest trumpet artist.

Body and Soul—arr. Matt Harris. You simply cannot go wrong with this Matt Harris chart on this great
jazz ballad ideally set as a tenor sax solo feature! The tempo is about 98 bpm with the tenor solo written and
improvised. It's lush, has a nice texture with flugelhorns, and the lead trumpet range is to written G on top of
the staff. It's beautiful... enough said!

The Dolphin (El Delfrin)—arr. Bill Holman. Originally recorded by the Woody Herman Orchestra, featuring
Stan Getz, on their album Live at the Concord Jazz Festival, The Dolphin is written in a beautiful bossa nova
setting and features tenor saxophone throughout. With lush harmonies and flowing ensemble backgrounds,
there is ample space for a tenor saxophonist to play the beautifully written melody, improvise, and explore this
wonderful melody and arrangement. If you have a tenor player to feature, this chart will stun audiences!

Early Blue Evening—Andy Farber. Andy Farber is a master at composing beautiful ballads, and this one is
pure jazz! Fully featuring an alto sax soloist with outstanding melodic content, there is a slow, nostalgic feel here
with just a hint of blueness. The solo part is fully written with opportunities for improvising around the melody
and is supported by tasty brass backgrounds and lush soli sections. Early Blue Evening is a wonderful feature for
the whole band as well as the soloist. Beautiful!

Every Time I Hear Your Name—Todd Phillips. Your flugelhorn or trumpet soloist is wonderfully
showcased in this rock ballad that features a lyrically beautiful melody and lush harmonies. Everything about
this chart is accessible, from the 80 bpm tempo to the brass ranges and the modest technical demands.
The soloist, ensemble and audience will enjoy this great ballad with a nostalgic sound.

Guitar City—Scott Stanton. Solid and authentic-sounding ensemble writing provides an exceptional
foundation for this rock guitar solo feature! Guitar City explodes from the first guitar power chord behind a
rhythmic horn section intro right into the melodic verse-verse-chorus-improvisation format. The easy B-flat
major pentatonic scale means there's no such thing as a wrong note for the rising star guitarist, and the guitar
part includes tablature for licks with appropriate slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and chord shape/performance
suggestions. Playable with optional reduced instrumentations, this is an outstanding chart for maturing bands
who want to rock the house!

Honeybee—Aaron Hedenstrom. Honeybee is a lovely, cool, easy-swinging chart that explores linear
material with the drummer featured throughout on brushes. This chart has the feel of a theme and variations,
and contains very rich harmonies and voicings. Flute and bass clarinet doubles are required.

Lifelong Friends—Kris Berg. Kris Berg has composed a beautiful, sensitive and mature solo feature for
B-flat, E-flat instruments or trombone. The ensemble is equally important in this setting at around 74 bpm that
transitions from the ballad style to a double-time section with the soloist and then back to the ballad style.
While the solo part is written, there are ample opportunities for improvisation. The lead trumpet range is to
written high C. This is an outstanding chart and ideal vehicle for your advanced soloist.
