42nd StreetHarry Warren/arr. Paul Cook. This
familiar tune works great for young jazz ensembles!
You can't beat a classic tune set in a straight-
ahead, upbeat swing style! This one will come
together quite easily, since the lines fit together so
naturally. Each of the horn sections get a chance
on the melody, making it a fine showcase for the
entire ensemble! Highly recommended!

4 Aardvark StompCharles Booker. A playful
chart in a Basie swing style, Aardvark Stomp is easy
and fun to play and a great way to assist young jazz
musicians in developing ensemble and sectional
playing skills. There's a very accessible sax soli
after the introduction, then a full-ensemble section
before the solos which are written or improvised for
any trumpet, then any saxophone. Optional parts for
flute, clarinet, French horn and tuba are included for
expanded instrumentations. This will prove to be a
real success story for beginning jazz bands!

n Absolutely PositivelyGregory Yasinitsky. This
slow shuffle chart really gets down at an easier
grade level! Everyone gets to play as it's mostly
full ensemble writing and all your players can
concentrate on style. The bluesy sound emphasizes
the groove, there's a written or ad lib solo for lead
alto, and it's playable with as few as nine players
including rhythm section. Absolutely!

All About the BluesPeter Blair. Slow, dirty,
and downright fun! Plenty of tutti ensemble figures
along with an easy solo section are designed to help
young players get it right from the very beginning.
With a chart like this, you'll be laying down the
groundwork that your students need to become
improvisors. Recommended!

tunes from the swing era, this enduring standard
has been recorded by countless artists ranging from
Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Benny Goodman,
Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra, to more recent

Eric Clapton. This easy arrangement provides a

H Autumn LeavesJoseph Kosma/arr. John
Berry. Here is an easy swing version of a timeless
classic! The saxes are in the spotlight, but there's
also a short solo for trumpet (cued in all parts if
you prefer a section feature.) Skillfully arranged for
inexperienced bands, and it even works well for
bands with limited instrumentation.

4 Basically BasieDoug Beach & George Shutack.
Learning music in the style of the great Count
Basie Band is an essential experience for any
jazz musician. This accessible chart is a swinging
original featuring many of the components so
often heard in the Count's music: a riff-based
melody, blues changes and a piano presenting
the first statement of the melody. Scored at
the very easy level for as few as five horns with
rhythm section and expandable to full big band,
Basically Basie includes written or improvised
solos for all with full ensemble backgrounds and
optional parts for flute, clarinet and horn in F for
expanded instrumentations. Not only is this a great
teaching chart, it's highly recommended as great
performance repertoire!

Basie-Cally the BluesMike Story. Here's
a chart that all beginning jazz bands should get
started on! The Basie blues style is captured
perfectly in this swing original by Mike Story. There
are no solos, and nothing technically difficult...just a
lot of good ensemble writing that will help your kids
learn how to swing together.

H
Blue 'n' MoodyMichael Sweeney. Utilizing the
dorian mode and a bluesy melody, here is a catchy
original perfect for teaching the swing style. This
one also works great for beginning improvisers
since the solo section uses only two chords (or two
scales). Suggested solos and scale/chord sheets
are also included. Sure to become a favorite with
your young band, it also has options for reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!
