Lifelong Friends—Kris Berg. Kris Berg has
composed a beautiful, sensitive and mature solo
feature for B-flat, E-flat instruments or trombone.
The ensemble is equally important in this setting
at around 74 bpm that transitions from the ballad
style to a double-time section with the soloist
and then back to the ballad style. While the solo
part is written, there are ample opportunities for
improvisation. The lead trumpet range is to written
high C. This is an outstanding chart and ideal vehicle
for your advanced soloist.

My Funny Valentine—Richard Rodgers/

The Nearness of You—Hoagy Carmichael/
arr. Mark Taylor.
Although the first hit recording
of this enduring standard was by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra in 1940, Hoagy Carmichael's The
Nearness of You has remained popular through the
ages with recordings by countless performers. Set
here as a solo feature for flugelhorn or trumpet, the
soft Latin/ballad style and lush accompaniment
parts help make this one particularly attractive.
The solo is completely written, and the soloist can
improvise around the melody if desired. Here is an
ideal way to feature an emerging soloist!

soloists. The featured solo part is fully written,
although some embellishment by the soloist is an
option. The well-scored ensemble provides solid
support for the soloist, and the band also has
its moment in the spotlight with a lush interlude.
Sophisticated, yet accessible!

Round Midnight—Monk & Williams/
arr. Dave Wolpe.
Dave Wolpe sets this timeless
and beautiful Cootie Williams and Thelonious Monk
classic as a flugelhorn feature. The band and soloist

4 Summer Solstice—Erik Sherburne.
Summer Solstice is a soulfully cool ballad that
features either a trumpet, flugelhorn or soprano
saxophone soloist with solo parts included for each.
Beautifully relaxed in straight eighth-note style, it's
well-crafted with the solo parts entirely written with
optional improvisation opportunities. The solo part
offers interesting chord changes while the ensemble
is more than a simple accompaniment. Nice, unique
and more contemporary than most solo features!

sound in this outstanding chart that features both the
band and soloist "a la Miles." The 2nd trumpet solo

trumpet goes to written A. Highly recommended!

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You—
George Bassman/arr. Rick Hirsch.
Here's
a wonderful update of Tommy Dorsey's classic
theme song. It's totally playable by high school
jazz bands, yet it also sounds great with college
and professional groups. It's written as a trombone
feature throughout (with optional solo parts included
for B-flat and E-flat instruments), although super-
high Dorsey-esque chops are not required. The
solo is mostly written with a section of improvising
around the melody and ad lib fills at the end.
