Night Mist—Larry Neeck. With a haunting melody, this minor-key ballad is the perfect feature for
promising alto saxophone or trumpet/flugelhorn soloists. The featured solo part is fully written, although some
embellishment by the soloist is an option. The well-scored ensemble provides solid support for the soloist,
and the band also has its moment in the spotlight with a lush interlude. Sophisticated, yet accessible!

No Regrets—Rick Lawn. This moving, lyrical ballad features solo flugelhorn or trumpet throughout with
written and improvised sections, a double-time bossa in the midsection, and a strong, dramatic finish.
The saxophone section provides beautiful support for the soloist and the trumpet and trombone sections
lend warm and lush textures. Beautiful!

One More Dream—Patrick Williams. Here is a wonderful alto saxophone ballad feature by master
composer Patrick Williams. Optional woodwind doubles are for alto flute and clarinet and there are optional
parts for two horns in F. The ensemble parts are more accessible than most Williams compositions and the
gorgeous solo melody has space for the advanced soloist to improvise. A class act all the way!

Opus de Funk—Horace Silver/arr. Marty Paich. In 1959 Art Pepper recorded 12 tunes backed by an
11-piece small band. The Marty Paich charts focused on modern jazz classics including this arrangement
of the Horace Silver composition Opus de Funk. This small band chart featured Art Pepper on alto sax.
This publication has been edited and engraved from the original score. Instrumentation: 2 Alto Saxes,
1 Tenor Sax, 1 Baritone Sax, 2 Trumpets, 1 Horn in F, 2 Trombones, Piano, Bass and Drums. Trumpet 3
or Trombone 3 parts are included as alternate parts for the Horn in F part. Here's a great way to feature
a strong alto sax soloist or guest artist!

Radiant Morning—Dan Torosian/arr. Paul Baker. A lush jazz ballad solo feature for alto sax, tenor
sax or trumpet/flugelhorn, Radiant Morning features a full-ensemble introduction leading into the beautiful
and melodic solo. The sax section takes over for the bridge before returning to the full ensemble for the last
A section. A brief transition moves the tempo up to a medium swing for an improvised solo over accessible
changes before returning to the original ballad tempo. Two brief solo cadenzas lead to an ensemble coda
that supports the soloist to the end of the chart. Not only is this a great solo feature, it's full of outstanding
ensemble material as well.

Remembering Thad—George Shutack. Paying tribute to the great Thad Jones, this expressive ballad
with rich harmonies and flowing lines provides a perfect showcase for flugelhorn or trumpet. The beautiful
melody is supported by a lush harmonic pad, and the lyrical solo part is entirely written with no improvisation
required. Playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations, Remembering Thad is accessible,
yet sophisticated!

Tomorrow Is Always a Good Day—Paul Clark. Tomorrow Is Always a Good Day is a sensational ballad
feature for solo trombone or tenor saxophone. This lovely composition begins in a minor key, keeps building to
a modulation to major, then builds to a huge, powerful finish! The features include an impressive and accessible
solo part, full and lush ensemble support, and an effective ensemble-only interlude. Truly a memorable chart at
this or any grade level! Highly recommended!

Well You Needn't—Thelonious Monk/arr. Mike Kamuf. This chart kicks! It's a shuffle at around
166 bpm and is a feature for two tenor saxes. This is not a duel, but a vehicle to showcase both tenor
players. Sample tenor solos are provided, the lead trumpet range is to written high C-sharp, there's a
great sax soli and a roaring shout chorus. Optional parts are included for expanded instrumentations.
Pure excitement and great for festivals!
