Jazz/Rock & Funk medium
l Line DriveRob Vuono, Jr. A totally energetic
and exciting rock chart, Line Drive features a hip,
driving minor-key melody over a set of shifting and
unexpected chord changes. Built upon a 12-bar
frame, it features lines layered over a propulsive
bass line. An exciting drum break leads to a solid
saxophone soli followed by a sensational out-chorus
that builds and builds. There are no solos to worry
about in this chart, just great ensemble writing
that features the entire band. Carefully scored to
sound full with optional reduced instrumentation,
with modest ranges throughout and an optional
auxiliary percussion part included, Line Drive is a
sure winner!

l Lynda BDave Hanson. At around 146 bpm, this
beautiful, mellow chart in an even eighth-note ECM
style features diatonic melodies over lush chord
voicings. The tenor and piano solos can be played
as written or improvised. Lynda B, with its lush and
sensitive mood is a reliable change-of-pace chart for
any program, especially for festivals and contests.

n Maiden VoyageHerbie Hancock/arr. Erik
Morales. Here is the beautiful Herbie Hancock tune
in a stellar arrangement by Erik Morales. Creative
and sophisticated but not technically difficult. The
lead trumpet range is only to written F-sharp top
line. There are written solo spaces for tenor sax and
piano, wonderful voicings and moving lines. This is
a joyous chart from top to bottom. Optional parts
are included for flute, horn in F, baritone/tenor sax
and tuba. Play this chart, it stands above the rest!
Highly recommended!

Make Me SmileJames Pankow/arr. John
Wasson. One of the first tunes to put the group
Chicago on the map was this early rocker from
1970. John Wasson stays true to the original in this
outstanding version for jazz ensemble that features
solos for alto sax, guitar, and all the signature horn
licks. Suggested solos are included along with
chord/scale sheets in all keys.

n Mister Magic (Mr. Magic)arr. Roger Holmes.
Skillfully blending jazz with R&B, saxophonist Grover
Washington, Jr. created a fusion classic with his
1975 recording of this tune. This chart beautifully
adapts the soulful lines and hypnotic groove for jazz
ensemble in this nicely scored arrangement.

Originally recorded by jazz fusion masters, The
Rippingtons, this chart for jazz ensemble features a
great "Birdland-like" groove and Gordon Goodwin's
creativity and total command of the big band idiom.

for alto sax. Here's a chart that will never sound old!

Night of the MojitoAndrew Neu. Reminiscent
of the music of Quincy Jones and Henry Mancini
in the 1960s, this catchy boogaloo for advancing
groups is a fun-loving fusion of Brazilian, Afro/
Cuban and American funk influences. The easy
solo changes are based on a minor blues with an
8-bar bridge; while tenor sax and trumpet are the
designated soloists, chords are also cued for alto
sax and trombone.

H
Pick Up the Piecesarr. Victor Lopez. It's funk/
rock... you know it, you love it! The tune is infectious,
the arrangement is right on target with no individual
solos but plenty of section and ensemble work. The
sax soli is crazy hot and the lead trumpet range is
to written A above the staff. Lots of unison lines,
some fun bari sax licks and a very hip stop-time
interlude that really cooks. This arrangement really
works for this tune! Consider this chart a winner!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

n Red ClayFreddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf.
A gem of a chart, here's Freddie Hubbard's
Red Clay arranged for developing jazz bands.
Characteristically, it's a straight-eighths groove
at 132 bpm with written or ad lib solos for tenor
sax and trumpet 2. A more subtle and quieter
interlude adds variety and interest, and a unique
and effective rhythm section break featuring the
bassist leads to the return of the head. The trumpet
1 range is to written G on top of the staff and a nice
shout chorus further adds to the fun. Playable with
optional expanded instrumentations. A great jazz
standard superbly arranged!
