H Count BubbaGordon Goodwin. Here's a
monster of a swinger that's designed to feature
the entire ensemble. In addition to a wonderful riff-
based theme and a very satisfying shout chorus,
the chart includes section feature spots for saxes,
trumpets and trombones, without the rhythm
section. Very effective!

n Count Bubba's RevengeGordon Goodwin.
Revenge is very sweet! It's a shuffle swing that
builds and builds, and on top of that, it showcases
all the sections by trading back and forth, even
playing without the rhythm section in the center
section. Solo space is provided for tenor, bari,
trumpet, trombone, and piano or guitar. Gordon
is masterful at creating a chart that exudes energy
and excitement, and this one sure delivers.

l Doodlin'Horace Silver/arr. Ernie Wilkins.
Horace Silver's iconic blues received the big-band
treatment courtesy of arranger Ernie Wilkins for
Dizzy Gillespie's big band in 1956. By and large, the
arrangement remains fairly close to Silver's original
intentions, especially with the melodic statements.
The style is medium, down-home swing that begins
with the full ensemble and then goes right into a
trumpet solo. The Gillespie band played this with
a lot humor, so liberties can be taken with fun,
interpretive quotes of the melody, including the
baritone sax lick leading into the phrases. What a
great chart to hear and play!

Embraceable YouGeorge Gershwin/arr.
Darmon Meader. Here's a tasty chart on this
Gershwin classic from the Great American
Songbook! With a medium swing feel at about 120
bpm, it features optional flugelhorns to add to the
rich textures, a written solo provided for tenor sax,
and a lead trumpet range to written high C. It will be
a pleasure to play this chart!

n Foo Birds of a FeatherReginald Thomas. This
bright swinger at about 150 bpm features a melodic
head carried by a duet of tenor and trombone, then
breaks to a hard swing, and includes a vibrant
sax soli. The trumpet and trombones offer section
trades and the solo space is for tenor, trumpet, or
anyone. Commissioned by the Jazz Division of the
Illinois Music Education Association for the 2016 All
State Jazz Ensemble, this chart provides a wealth of
teaching opportunities. A full ensemble shout with
drum fills rounds it out before a return to the head.
The combination of a swinging melodic line, ample
solo space and outstanding ensemble writing make
this a must for any library!

n Give It OneFerguson & Downey/arr. Alan
Baylock. You have got to have this spectacular Alan
Baylock chart on the Maynard Ferguson and Alan
Downey classic! Alan's arrangement is reminiscent
of Maynard's version, but in a lower key since the
lead trumpet only goes to written D above the staff.
The tempo is brisk at about 220 bpm, but it could
be played effectively at a slightly slower tempo. Solo
space is provided for all four trumpets for flexibility.
Truly outstanding, and highly recommended!

l Heavy LegsDuke Pearson. Duke Pearson's
Heavy Legs is a surprisingly high-energy entry into
his catalog as a composer. The opening ensemble
riff is a fairly simple dialogue between the horns
and piano and rips right along at about 220 bpm.
The introductory material pops up one last time
before the melody is over to serve as a send off
into the first solo. The melody is restated once the
solos are over, followed by a vamp and fade over
the theme with the piano filling in the gaps. This is
pure fun for a small band! Instrumentation: flute,
ATB saxes, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass, drums
and optional guitar.

n High MaintenanceGordon Goodwin. Here's a
swingin' shuffle that offers a hot sax soli, with some
great solo lines for the bari, too! It's got plenty of
sass and a spunky attitude from beginning to end.
It's a natural choice for festival or concert programs.
Optional parts for vibes and flute are included.

n I Can't Stop Loving Youarr. Quincy Jones.
Every jazz fan knows it, loves it and has wished it
was in print! And now, this quintessential big-band
arrangement is finally available! As recorded by the
Count Basie Orchestra on their album This Time
by Basie: Hits of the 50s & 60s, Quincy Jones'
arrangement of I Can't Stop Loving You will bring
your audiences to their feet. Beginning with the
Count's rubato piano tremolo, this laid-back shuffle
chart features in-your-face ensemble writing at its
finest. There is short, written-out solo space for
trombone and piano, but mostly this chart simply
swings its tail off with the entire ensemble from
beginning to end! Never has a sad song sounded
so happy! Very highly recommended!

I Got RhythmGeorge Gershwin/arr. Dave Wolpe.
Wow! If you have a hot trombone player in your
band, you've got to check out this chart! This thing
smokes from beginning to end, and it just gets better
and better as it unfolds. It's got the classic Gershwin
sound, the incredibly skillful writing of Dave Wolpe,
and plenty of space for your lead trombone player to
strut his or her stuff! The solo trombone part sits at
the medium-advanced level.

Gordon Goodwin. If you're looking for a more
substantial holiday offering for better groups, this
Gordon Goodwin chart is it! It's a medium-slow
swing take on this Johnny Marks standard with a
few modulations, outstanding ensemble passages,
terrific shout choruses, and solo space for all saxes,
trumpet 4 and trombones 1 and 2. Very creative!

iPads, and iPods, and now thanks to Mark Taylor
we have iBop! This medium-tempo swinger is
bop-ish in attitude and features a catchy riff-based
melody stated first by the saxes. A flexible written
or ad lib solo section allows for plenty of options,
and the chart wraps up with a complete chorus
beautifully crafted for the full ensemble.

In the MoodJoe Garland/arr. Jeff Tyzik. Here is
the hot version of this big band standard arranged
by Jeff Tyzik as recorded by Doc Severinson and
the Tonight Show Band. With a dressed up feel
and solos for alto, tenor and trumpet, this timeless
classic never sounded so good!

n JeannineDuke Pearson/arr. Mike Dana. A great
jazz standard played around 178 bpm, this swing
chart features alto sax with a suggested written solo
provided, and a drum solo played in between band
hits. The lead trumpet range is to written high C. An
optional vibraphone part is included.

n Jody GrindHorace Silver/arr. John Clayton. The
funky stylings of Horace Silver are featured in this
energetic arrangement from the Clayton-Hamilton
Jazz Orchestra. A trumpet and tenor sax duet starts
it off, followed by ensemble punches and solos for
tenor and trombone. The entire ensemble gets into
the act as the chart roars to a climactic finish.

n JoshuaVictor Feldman/arr. Mark Taylor.
Composed by pianist Victor Feldman, this jazz
standard has been popular with recording artists
ever since Miles Davis famously introduced it back
in 1963. Written in an up-tempo swing style and
featuring the riff-like melody surrounded by full
ensemble statements, this well-crafted chart is
certain to become a staple in the repertoire for jazz
groups. Highly recommended!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!Jule
Styne/arr. Gordon Goodwin. In the style of Basie
and Hefti, this Gordon Goodwin adaptation of the
wonderful holiday classic is set in a medium swing
style. Not a drum showcase, but the drummer has
plenty of solo space beginning on brushes, then to
sticks as the intensity rises. There is a flute part on
second alto (can be omitted) and a percussion part
for vibes. The optional solo space is for alto, tenor,
trumpet, trombone, and the lead trumpet range is
to written high E. A great sax section soli rounds out
this excellent chart. This one is so nice, you'll want
to play it year 'round! Highly recommended!

n The LickSteve Brown. Inspired by a YouTube
video collage of jazz soloists playing a common
sequence of notes, this piece uses "the lick" in a
variety of unison and harmonized permutations. A
medium swinger with a jazz intro, it heads right into
a sax soli on a nice linear melodic line. The solos
are for piano, tenor, or anyone, followed by a big,
swinging ensemble feature. The great orchestration
and catchy rhythmic figures all but guarantee the
band will have as much fun as the audience!

n Love Is Here to StayGeorge Gershwin/arr.
Mark Taylor. Set in a medium-tempo Basie-style
swing, this chart is a study in effective writing
for the entire ensemble. From the small group
passages contrasted with full ensemble scoring
to the sax soli sections with brass responses, this
chart is a gem! Suggested or improvised solos are
included for trumpet and tenor sax, along with
written bass lines and piano voicings. Gershwin at
his finest! Highly recommended!

Makin' WhoopeeWalter Donaldson/arr. Dave
Wolpe. Bass trombone players can count on one
hand the good charts available for their instrument.
Well, here is one of the best yet arranged by Dave
Wolpe in the style of the great George Roberts.
With a medium-swing feel, this showcase will
bring out the best in your bass trombone player
with no improvisation, just written melody. There is
some written or improvised jazz for 2nd trumpet in
harmon mute, and the lead trumpet has a unison
line to written high E. A nice sax soli is the icing on
the cake. An outstanding feature chart!
10071915 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 60.00
H Moanin'Charles Mingus/arr. Sy Johnson. This is
an awesome Mingus double-time swing chart in the
original version as recorded on the Mingus Big Band
93 CD. It kicks off with a hot bari sax intro, features
some really tight licks, an extended open solo
section, and an infectious bari sax line that drives
the whole piece. Serious jazz for serious bands!

Moment's NoticeJohn Coltrane/arr. Alan
Baylock. Alan Baylock crafts a great swinger on
one of Coltrane's brilliant compositions. Set around
208 bpm, this chart includes solo space for alto
and tenor and a lead trumpet range to written high
C. A big shout chorus and sax soli complete the
package. Outstanding chart!
10452152 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 60.00
n An Open and Shut CasePaul Baker. Gifted
composer Paul Baker has crafted a bright swing
chart that has it all! It's a bright swinger, has tons
of energy, features "blues with a bridge" solos for
tenor and trumpet, an eight-bar drum interlude, has
a very cool "rhythm out" section after the solos,
and an outstanding sax soli. Lots of independent
section work lets each part of the ensemble shine.
The trumpet range is to written high C. It's an open
and shut case, this chart cooks!
10518336 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00
n OrnithologyParker & Harris/arr. Greg
Yasinitsky. Greg Yasinitsky has set Charlie Parker's
great bebop tune to swing at about 172 - 200
bpm. Featuring plenty of excellent sax section solis,
brass solis, solo spaces (suggested written solos
included) for tenor sax, and piano, this is fine big
band swing chart on a great tune. The lead trumpet
range goes up to written B-flat above the staff and
optional flute and vibraphone parts are included.
This is essential jazz repertoire, and this chart is
very highly recommended!

l Out of Nowhere (Edited Version)arr. Bill
Holman. Bill Holman, well-known for his solo
features, originally arranged this iconic tenor
saxophone feature, Out of Nowhere, for Bill Perkins
and the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the mid 50s. Set
as an up-tempo swing chart, tenor saxophone is
featured throughout and has lots of solo space to
make this tune its own. Combine that with a cookin'
rhythm section and great swinging ensemble
passages, this chart is really happening! This new
Finale edition provides cleaner, more correct parts
and is easier to read with better page turns. The
edited version is exactly the same as the pro version
except it is written for 8 brass instead of 10. The
brass ranges are reasonable in both versions with
the highest note for trumpet being a written D.
10607231 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 55.00
l Parisian ThoroughfareBud Powell/arr. Mark
Taylor. Based on the classic version recorded
by Clifford Brown, this chart opens with a frantic
"traffic jam" effect before settling into a more
relaxed, yet up-tempo, swing style. The melody is
first stated by a combo of tenor, trumpet, guitar and
vibes, and joined later by the saxes and ultimately
the entire ensemble. A distinctive tutti spot, minus
the rhythm section, helps set up the solo section.
Parisian Thoroughfare is a terrific showpiece for
every section of the band!
