n Rock This TownBrian Setzer/arr. Dave Wolpe.
This is it...the chart you've been waiting to get your
hands on! This tune has long been a rockin' favorite,
and the version by the Brian Setzer Orchestra is
even hotter! Dave Wolpe has arranged Rock This
Town almost note for note right off the recording,
and has included solo space for a screaming guitar
solo ala the Setzer recording. No doubt about it...
this chart will completely energize your kids!

4 Sack of WoeJulian Adderley/arr. Mark Taylor.
Originally recorded by the Cannonball Adderley
Quintet, here's a classic jazz tune that works
great for younger ensembles. Arranged here in an
attractive shuffle funk style, there's nice balance
between a small group flavor and riffs scored for the
entire ensemble. Suggested solos are included for
alto sax and trumpet along with chord/scale sheets
in all keys. An all-time favorite in the jazz repertoire,
this is highly recommended!

n SanduClifford Brown/arr. Chris Sharp. Clifford
Brown's Sandu has long been a jam-session
staple for anyone that wants to shred some E-flat
blues. Chris Sharp delivers great ensemble writing
that really swings in the chart's blow section. The
familiar melody is featured with a trumpet and tenor
sax duet at the top of the tune and returns with
the duet at the end. Sandu also includes written or
improvised solos for tenor sax and trumpet with a
great "rhythm out" interlude between the solos. As
if that isn't enough, there's an excellent sax section
soli and a roaring shout chorus before the recap!
Our highest recommendation!

n Saturday Morning BluesMike Tomaro.
Mike Tomaro just takes his time in unfolding this
outstanding study on the blues for big band! At
around 60 bpm, it begins with a laidback solo piano
introduction joined by a trumpet soloist leading to
the first ensemble statement. It begins to get a
little more down and dirty and gradually builds to
the solo section. The solos are all about the blues
with sultry backgrounds. Then the ensemble trades
with the drummer and there's another solo section.
Then the band starts to open up, and builds, and
builds, and builds, all the while just laying back in
that bluesy groove. They don't get any better than
this! Very highly recommended!

l Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of
the Week)arr. Billy Byers. Arranged for and
recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on their
album Frankly Basie, this is a medium swing
chart in the inimitable style of the Basie band. This
arrangement features flute, doubled by the tenor
saxophone, and trumpets on the catchy melody.
This is combined with wonderful interplay from the
ensemble and Basie piano solo fills that have all
been written out. There is solo space for flute with
changes and written piano. The ensemble writing
and brass ranges are reasonable, with the highest
note for trumpet being a written D-flat. This is a
great addition to any band's library!

n Scrapple from the AppleCharlie Parker/arr.
David Bandman. Big band bebop! This is a great
Charlie Parker classic arranged as a bright swing
chart. The melody is stated by alto, tenor and
trumpet 2 followed by written or ad lib trumpet 2
and tenor 1 solos. There's a full ensemble chorus
and the lead trumpet top note is to written A.
An excellent chart on this "Bird" classic!

chart on Secret Love just cooks and cooks!

sections, there's plenty of section work and nice
ensembles too. The lead 'bone range is to high Bb

your trombones. Highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

Seven Steps to HeavenDavis & Feldman/
arr. Mike Tomaro. Recorded during the pinnacle
of Miles Davis' career, Seven Steps to Heaven has
become an iconic jazz standard and one of Miles'
best known tunes. Keeping the up-tempo swing
style of the original, this chart soars through the
chord changes with skill and fluency, and features
solos for trumpet and tenor. Suggested solos and
chord/scale sheets in all keys are included. Great
arrangement of a brilliant jazz standard!

Stockings is one of the greatest jazz tunes ever for
big band. Arranged by Greg Yasinitsky and scored at
an accessible level, this chart has all the ingredients
you expect plus a few short section solis and an
ensemble shout chorus. This arrangement stays
very close to the original, yet is more accessible for
developing groups. Other features include a written
solo for 2nd trumpet with the lead trumpet range to
written A above the staff. This Basie classic belongs
in every jazz library! Highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

H
Sing, Sing, SingLouis Prima/trans. Mike Lewis.
Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable swing
tune of all time! This incredible transcription is as
close as you're going to come to the original (which
included clarinet and less than a full compliment
of brass). This chart is scored for a standard 5
saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and rhythm, but
aside from that, it is the original as played by Benny
Goodman. Every lick is there, including all the Gene
Krupa drum breaks! This chart is a must for every
big band's library!

n Sister SadieHorace Silver/arr. Bryan Kidd.
Experience this hard-bop style work that really gets
things kickin'. The saxes open with the famous head
and this chart has been made more accessible, yet
remains true to the original. There are a wealth of
performance suggestions included to make this
chart work at many ability levels. Containing all
the elements of Horace Silver's original tune, this
arrangement can be opened up to feature more
soloists than just the tenor (provided with a written
solo and changes). A sax soli feature helps to bring
this one home! An outstanding arrangement of a
jazz standard!

l South of the Border (Down Mexico Way)arr.
Billy Byers. Billy Byers, known for his wildly
successful arrangements for the Count Basie

recorded on the album Frankly Basie, South of the
Border has it all, with written-out Basie piano solos,
roaring ensemble passages, a swinging saxophone
soli, and some compelling key changes. Solo space
is provided for tenor saxophone, trumpet, and piano.
If you want your band and audiences to experience
the joy of Basie, then this chart is a must!

After the initial statement, Greg Yasinitsky gives
this Benny Goodman treasure an updated and
contemporary flair while remaining true to the

dynamic contrasts, a stop-time section, a sax
section soli, ensemble interludes, a written or
improvised trumpet 2 solo, and it's all played
around 168 bpm. The lead trumpet range is to
written B-flat above the staff and optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentations. Solid with
proven appeal!

swing trumpet solo feature contains tons of jazz
substance! Arranger Dave Rivello captures the
distinctive "Miles Davis-Harmon Mute" sound in this
outstanding chart that features both the band and
soloist "a la Miles." The 2nd trumpet solo part goes
to written F on the top line, and the lead trumpet
goes to written A. Highly recommended!

n Take FivePaul Desmond/arr. Rich DeRosa.
Perhaps the most famous time chart of all, Take
Five is in 5/4 but the rhythmic pattern is clear and
consistent throughout. You'll find this arrangement
very accessible with easy alto sax and drum solos,
plus modest brass ranges. This chart features a
more laid-back style than the original and is sure
to be just as important today as was in the 1960s.
Recommended for every jazz enthusiast!
