Blues & Swing medium
n Blue MonkThelonious Monk/arr. Mark Taylor.
One of the signature tunes from jazz legend
Thelonious Monk is this quirky and iconic blues!
This great-sounding version for big bands maintains
the medium swing feel and "Monk-isms" from the
original, but the arranger's own stamp of originality
is exemplified with crafty ensemble lines, rhythmic
twists, and some powerful full ensemble statements
in mixed meters. Solos are included for tenor,
trumpet and drums, along with marvelous writing for
the entire band. Suggested solos are included along
with chord/scale sheets in all keys. Highly effective!

n BoplicityDavis & Evans/arr. Mike Tomaro.

of the music, and working directly with the original
score, Mike Tomaro has adapted this tune from
the album for standard instrumentation, making it
accessible to today's jazz ensembles. The style is
laid-back swing, and it includes solos for baritone
sax, trumpet and piano, as in the original version.
A jazz standard for your library!

n Canal Street CommotionMike Carubia.
This chart features the sound of a New Orleans
funeral band historically known as the "Second
Line" behind the family and casket. It's a time
for celebration coming after the initial mourning
period. It's lots of fun to play in the style of a
funky, marching, dixieland band. The harmonic
form is the blues and there is room made for
soloing both inside the ensemble and for featured
soloists. The saxophone section features soprano
lead and optional flute and tuba parts are included.
A change-of-pace highlight with attitude!

best, plus audiences always enjoy a good shuffle

H Dat DereBobby Timmons/arr. Erik Morales.
A soulful tune with a catchy title and melody! Erik

medium swing groove. At a moderate tempo,
with a slightly mysterious intro, the saxes grab the
melody and it builds from there. A written (or ad
lib) alto solo is provided with a fat shout chorus.
This is an outstanding chart in every respect!
Highly recommended!

148 bpm, the solos are written for trumpet 2 and
alto, the lead trumpet hits a written B-flat above the

ensemble. Sure to be a favorite!

top! A very hip melody line, written-out solos for
tenor sax and 1st trombone, lead trumpet range to
written A above the staff and a power-house shout
chorus are but a few of the features. A hot bari sax
part, too! This is nothing but fun to play! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

4 Et Si C'Etait la Fin (As If It Were the End)Pat
Metheny/arr. Bob Curnow. Bob Curnow continues
to add the music of Pat Metheny to his catalog with
another of Metheny's unforgettable melodies, Et
Si C'Etait la Fin, originally recorded on the album
Secret Story. Set in a contemporary pop/swing feel,
this arrangement makes a wonderful contrast on
any program. Playable by many bands, there are
very reasonable brass ranges (the highest note
for trumpet is a written D), no woodwind doubles,
and the rhythm parts are all notated. Additionally,
there's solo space included for alto saxophone and
trumpet. This one is top notch!

Building Walking Bass Lines—Ed Friedland. A walking bass line is the
most common approach to jazz bass playing, but it is also used in rock music,
blues, rockabilly, R&B, Gospel, Latin, country and many other types of music. The
term "walking" is used to describe the moving feeling that quarter notes create
in the bass part. The specific goal of this book is to familiarize players with the
techniques used to build walking bass lines and to make them aware of how the
process works. Through the use of 90 minutes of recorded rhythm tracks, players
will have the opportunity to put the new learning directly into action. This book
literally gives bassists the tools they need to build their own walking bass lines!
