H The Chicken—Alfred James Ellis/arr. Kris
Berg. If you've got a strong bassist, this is your
showstopper! This chart, made famous by bass
virtuoso Jaco Pastorius, gets kicking with a killer
gospel chorale, but is soon interrupted by one of
the funkiest bass lines ever played! Soon the entire
band is in on it with a Tower of Power-style sound
that is sure to impress everyone listening!

H Drama for Your Mama—Victor Lopez. This fun
rock chart for beginners has all the right stuff...
easy rhythms and ranges, and a solo section that's
completely notated for all the winds. The solos can
also be played as unisons in any combination of
instruments or sections. Playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentations, it's easy to
put together, very effective and has great appeal
for the young player. Highly recommended!

l Funk Tank—Lars Halle. In the spirit of Frank
Mantooth and Ashley Alexander, this funk chart
provides each section of the band with exciting and
distinctive roles that come together and meld into a
funky, backbeat groove with a nod to the jazz/rock
fusion era. Written for advancing groups, it includes
a written or improvised alto saxophone solo, an
optional vibes part, and a guitar chord chart.

Victor Lopez is designed to guarantee young
jazz ensemble success! With a haunting melody,
it will capture the imagination with a jazz/rock,
even eighth note style at a tempo of about 126
bpm. There's a written alto sax solo, the trumpet 1
range is to E top space, and everything you need
is written out to ensure successful rehearsals and
performances. Playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Check it out!

4 Red Clay—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf.
A gem of a chart, here's Freddie Hubbard's
Red Clay arranged for developing jazz bands.
Characteristically, it's a straight-eighths groove
at 132 bpm with written or ad lib solos for tenor
sax and trumpet 2. A more subtle and quieter
interlude adds variety and interest, and a unique
and effective rhythm section break featuring the
bassist leads to the return of the head. The trumpet
1 range is to written G on top of the staff and a nice
shout chorus further adds to the fun. Playable with
optional expanded instrumentations. A great jazz
standard superbly arranged!

4 Steam Whistle—Les Sabina. This cookin' chart is
tuneful, funky and is set in a half-time feel. A written
or improvised solo is provided for alto saxophone
with the accessible chord progression allowing
the improviser to solo using the notes in a concert
E-flat minor pentatonic scale (Eb, Gb, Ab, Bb, Db).
Interesting material is well distributed throughout
the various instrumental families, the parts are
well articulated, the ranges are reasonable, and
the rhythm section parts are notated with chords
symbols provided. A modulation heightens the
excitement, and it's playable with optional reduced
or expanded instrumentations. A strong chart with
a great groove!

l Street Smart—Doug Beach & George Shutack.
Take a strong R & B groove, add a fun-to-play
melody with a catchy hook, stir in some solid
ensemble writing, and you have the recipe for
a rock chart that will be a hit with students and
audiences alike. The solo section features a 16-bar
blues that will be a great vehicle for young soloists
to develop their jazz chops. Scored at the very
easy level for five horns with rhythm section and
expandable to full big band, there are written or
improvised solos for all players and optional parts
for flute, clarinet and horn in F are included.

4 There's the Rub—Gordon Goodwin/arr. Peter
Blair. It's funky, it's accessible, it's a Gordon
Goodwin tune arranged for the developing jazz
ensemble! It's half-time funk with the tempo at
about 188 bpm with written-out solos available for
any saxophone. The lead trumpet range is to written
G on top of the staff and optional parts are included
for expanded instrumentations, and it's a no-fail
crowd-pleaser! Our highest recommendation!

H Watermelon Man—Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike
Kamuf. Oh yeah! This is a crowd pleaser and a band
pleaser... a win-win! Fun, funky, hip, groovy — call
it what you want, this chart is excellent in every
way... and if you have a decent bari player, he or
she will really love this one. There are written solos
for alto and tenor sax, a stop-time without rhythm
section for the saxes, a fantastic interlude section, a
monster shout chorus, and some short drum fills...
what's not to like!? Very highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

n Whiplash—Hank Levy/arr. Erik Morales. Featured
in the 2014 movie "Whiplash," depicting the
relationship between an ambitious student
musician and an abusive, yet respected instructor,
this chart is a super-exciting work in 7/4 composed
by Hank Levy and arranged by Erik Morales. Don't
be intimidated by the meter... it's challenging, but
after a few minutes it feels quite natural and the
students will totally groove on it. The melody is
stated by 2nd trumpet and 1st alto with solo space
for both on easy chord changes. Articulation is
critical and the rhythm section may want to spend
some quality time together. The lead trumpet range
is to written D above the staff. This is a unique but
very desirable chart to have in your library. You
won't regret playing Whiplash!
