n FootprintsWayne Shorter/arr. Mike Tomaro.
Recorded by Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter's hypnotic
minor blues has become a true jazz classic and
required literature for jazz musicians. Arranged here
using a medium straight-eighth-note groove, this
chart makes effective use of all the sections or the
ensemble and includes a flexible solo section for any
player. Including suggested solos, chord/scale sheets
in all keys, written bass lines and piano voicings, this
one will be fun to learn, rehearse and perform!
10522918 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 50.00
n Freedom Jazz DanceEddie Harris/arr. Eric
Richards. Eric Richards' charts are substantial, but
worth the work! Here's Eric's take on Eddie Harris'
burnin' jazz classic with a funk groove. The tempo
moves along at 208 bpm and the lead trumpet range
is to written C above the staff. Solo space is provided
for alto, tenor, trumpet, trombone and guitar. Great
tune and an excellent chart! Highly recommended!

4 Funk TankLars Halle. In the spirit of Frank
Mantooth and Ashley Alexander, this funk chart
provides each section of the band with exciting and
distinctive roles that come together and meld into
a funky, backbeat groove with a nod to the jazz/
rock fusion era. The feel is half-time, funk/hip-hop
with swing eighth notes, it has a great melody
that cooks within every section, and includes nice
contrast with a trumpet soli before returning to the
melody. Written for advancing groups, it includes
a written or improvised alto saxophone solo, an
optional vibes part, and a guitar chord chart. Pure
fun and excitement!

Get in LineGordon Goodwin. Gordon Goodwin
is one of the hottest writers on the big band scene
today. His Big Phat Band is modern, hip, exciting,
fresh and captivating to see and hear. This chart is
the real thing as performed and recorded by the
Big Phat Band. There are solos available for alto,
tenor, trumpet and trombone and a percussion
part is included along with an optional vibe part. On
this one, Gordon even included optional flute and
clarinet parts if you want to expand the ensemble.
Although challenging, Get In Line is not quite as
difficult as many of Gordon's fabulous charts.
Excellent writing!

n Give It OneFerguson & Downey/arr. Chris Sharp.
Close to the original, but somewhat simplified,
this burning rocker from the Maynard Ferguson
library really sizzles with a driving intensity! The
lead trumpet goes up to high D with a couple high
E's thrown in for your aspiring high note specialist.
It also includes a nice chorus for a written or
improvised alto sax solo and some very cool
trumpet section solis.

n
Groove MerchantJerome Richardson/arr.
Thad Jones. Listed in Teaching Music through
Performance in Jazz and recorded by the Thad
Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra on their Central Park
North album, this great collaboration between
Jerome Richardson and Thad Jones has become
an established standard for better bands. It's
a mighty swinger with an edgy melody line,
contemporary voicings, and lots of section work
that's guaranteed to bring an audience to their feet.
Changes for the open solo section are provided for
soprano or alto saxes, trumpet, trombone, piano
and guitar. The rhythm section parts are partially
notated with chords cued.
2087823 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 56.00
Here Comes the SunGeorge Harrison/arr. Mike
Tomaro. This is probably George Harrison's most
famous contribution to the illustrious catalog of
recordings by The Beatles! Mike Tomaro maintains
the general flavor of the distinctive original and
takes the opportunity to dress it up a bit for jazz
ensemble. A classy new shine on a familiar gem!

H Hit the Ground RunningGordon Goodwin. It's
funky with all the Big Phat Band attributes and it's
fairly tough to play, but hey, it's Gordon and you
know it will be a hot chart if you have the horses! The
opening lick for piano is really hot and the rhythm
section will stay busy and includes an auxiliary
percussion part. There's also solo space for alto,
tenor, bari sax, trumpet and trombone. Open with
this chart and you will definitely get their attention!

4 HopscotchJoe Schaefer. Hot and energetic,
Hopscotch is a funk/hip-hop original with swing
eighth notes. The solos can be opened up, and a
suggested solo and chord changes are included
in the alto 1 part. The solo section is readily
accessible for developing soloists with only one
chord over a blues scale. This chart features
great ensemble writing, cookin' sectionals, and
it really starts to groove after the solos all the way
to the end. Hopscotch is well written, exciting and
highly recommended!
10607096 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 48.00
4 Hot Rockin'Mike Carubia. Here's a straight-
ahead rock original that's full of energy and
drive! With solid ensemble writing and kickin'
backgrounds behind the soloists, it shouts! The
optional open solo section is over only two chords,
concert G7 and C7, and suggested solos and chord
changes are included in the alto 1 and trumpet 2
parts. After the solos a drum solo leads back to a
restatement of the main theme. Hot Rockin' is not
just your ordinary rock chart!

4 Hunk o' FunkCarl Strommen. This great Carl
Strommen original is a slow funk chart with a
double-time feel at around 92 bpm. With tons of
attitude, it features lots of dialogue between the
saxes and brass, powerful ensembles, and optional
open solos with written solos and chord changes in
the tenor 1 and trumpet 2 parts. The solos are over
only two chords and can use blues scales. Hunk o'
Funk is very exciting and highly recommended!
10607100 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 48.00
H Hunting WabbitsGordon Goodwin. Gordon
Goodwin's tongue-in-cheek tribute to cartoons
is stellar! The mixing of "legitimate" and swing
styles makes this chart a showstopper. Soprano
sax leads the saxes throughout, and some feisty
unaccompanied sections will keep everyone on
the edge of their seats. There's solo space for
soprano, tenor, trumpet and trombone, along with
percussion parts and an optional synthesizer part
for the piano player.

H The Jazz PoliceGordon Goodwin. This ferocious
chart is totally hot rock-swing-jazz for the
experienced big band, featuring solo space for
tenor, trumpet and trombone or guitar. The lead
trumpet and baritone sax will push this chart over
the top!

The Little Drummer Boyarr. Gordon Goodwin.
Here's Gordon Goodwin's slow, funky version of
the holiday classic that's very clever with the initial
melody line played by bass trombone and bari sax.
The tempo is 110 bpm, it has soprano sax lead, and
solo space for all saxes, trumpet 4, and trombones
1 and 2. The lead trumpet range is up to high A-flat.
Very cool chart!

l Modern PecknologyKris Berg. Here's another
of Kris Berg's highly successful and funky "chicken"
charts! A clever title means a clever chart - this
one opens with the sound of the barnyard and
then it gets funky immediately with a very cool
bass part. The tempo is around 110 bpm with the
lead trumpet range to written B above the staff.
A suggested written tenor solo is provided along
with chord changes for trombone 1, and optional
parts are included for expanded instrumentations.
Modern Pecknology has a great groove that settles
in and stays funky all the way home!

l No Chance of LosingErik Sherburne. Erik
Sherburne has crafted a "determined rock" chart
played at 132 bpm with lots of call-and-response
writing and limited brass ranges. Including plenty
of unison lines and interesting rhythms, No Chance
of Losing is very energetic, has blues changes for
the soloists, and includes great use of contemporary
rhythms. There's "no chance of losing" with this one!
