Blues & Swing medium
n Herding CatsPaul Baker. Featuring a melody
line that bounces from part to part within the
ensemble, this medium tempo, bebop "blues with
a bridge" chart keeps the conductor on his toes
"herding the cats" in the band. Lots of open solo
space with changes provided allows for numerous
soloists and an a cappella chorus featuring the
horn section. A flag-waving shout chorus leads to a
Basie piano ending. The trumpet range is to written
high C and the trombone range is to G. At about
188 bpm, this great original is scored for 5 saxes,
5 trumpets, 4 trombones plus bass trombone, and
four rhythm. 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!

Hey Pocky Way (Little Big Band)arr. Eric
Richards. Originally recorded by the New Orleans
funk band, The Meters, Hey Pocky Way is fashioned
here by Eric Richards in the style of the Dirty
Dozen Brass Band. It's a great change-of-pace
chart, and a fun style to play in the little big band
format. Scored for 6 horns (3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1
trombone) plus rhythm section with optional parts
included for alto sax, tenor sax and trombone.

n Hidden AgendaDoug Beach. Get your bop on
with this straight-ahead swing chart that will be

charts that are based on the chord changes to I
Got Rhythm are written for more advanced groups,

that includes an extended solo section, a stop-time
ensemble interlude, and a full ensemble shout
chorus. Perfect for concert or festival!

4 Hollywood and VineJoe Elefante. This original
swinger really shows off the full ensemble well!
There's a very hip sax section soli at the top
followed by some tasty writing for the brass. Then
it's back to the saxes strutting their stuff into an
interlude transitioning to the solo section. After
the solos, things go soft and quiet before the sax
section takes over followed by a transition to the full
ensemble that roars to the end. Developing bands
will shine with Hollywood and Vine!

l HoneybunsDuke Pearson. One of the best
examples of early jazz/rock is the title track from
Duke Pearson's 1965 album Honeybuns. The chart
begins with an irresistible gospel/rock/swing riff in
the horns and piano and is followed by an equally
catchy melody played by trumpet, tenor saxophone
and flute. Harmonically, the melody is based on
an extended G blues, with the form lasting for 24
measures as opposed to the traditional 12. On the
original recording the only solos are for trumpet
and piano, with the saxophones playing the same
introductory figure as a background. In this version
solo changes are included in each part allowing
solos to be added or opened up. This one is very
soulful, cute and fun! Instrumentation: flute, ATB
saxes, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass, drums and
optional guitar.

n
How High the MoonMorgan Lewis/arr. Dave
Wolpe. Now this is classy! Dave Wolpe puts the
trombones out front in this solid swinger, and boy
do they sound great carrying the tune! This sits
comfortably for bands at the medium level, and
three of your bone players get a chance to solo,
with suggested solos offered. What a great chart!

n Hurricane SeasonTroy Andrews/arr. John
Wasson. From the Trombone Shorty CD Backatown,
this tune features the powerful underlying pulse of a
New Orleans second line feel along with elements
of contemporary rock. There's written or improvised
solo space for trumpet. In this exciting chart, the
ensemble alternately screams with the full band
riffs, then settles into a simmering rhythmic groove.
Also included are written bass lines and piano
voicings. A real treat to perform and hear!

n I Left My Heart in San Franciscoarr. Quincy
Jones. Quincy Jones wrote some incredible
arrangements on very popular tunes for the Count
Basie Orchestra. As recorded on This Time By
Basie, Quincy's arrangement of I Left My Heart in
San Francisco features great interplay between the
ensemble playing the melody, and the piano with
written solo fills. With a tempo around 108 bpm,
and a relaxed swing feel, there's also short solo
space for tenor saxophone, and the ranges are very
moderate. This chart is playable by a lot of bands.
It's a true classic! Highly recommended!

written solos are provided for alto, trombone 1, and
piano. Optional wind and vibes parts are included

concert, contest or festival! Highly recommended!

I Mean YouMonk & Hawkins/arr. Mike Tomaro.
Written by Thelonious Monk and Coleman
Hawkins, this chart features a freewheeling, New
Orleans-style street beat alternating with straight-
ahead swing. Mike Tomaro's setting is unique
and creative on this Monk classic. Trumpet and
tenor share the melody, and solo space is included
for trombone and piano with suggested solos
included. Highly recommended!

I've Got You Under My SkinCole Porter/arr.

Isn't She Lovely?Stevie Wonder/arr. Mike
Tomaro. Recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1976 on
his acclaimed album Songs in the Key of Life, this
beautiful song is a good example of combining
elements of jazz with pop. Keeping the same easy-
flowing shuffle groove of the original, Mike Tomaro
adapts this very nicely for the contemporary big band!

n It's Oh, So NiceSammy Nestico. As recorded
on the great Basie-Straight Ahead album of 1968
by Count Basie, this swing outing features solid
section and full ensemble writing, brass buckets,
sax scoops, drum fills, and piano in the solo role.
The tempo is not taxing with the quarter equaling

will be especially important. The rhythm section
parts are partially notated with chords cued.
