n BounceJeff Jarvis. Here's a hot, medium-
tempo funk chart that contrasts funky, swing 16th
rhythmic figures with smooth legato brass lines.
The solo space is open with the ensemble cookin'
and poppin' behind the soloists, and there are some
2/4 measures thrown in for contrast. There's even
a short solo for bass near the end! If you want a
funk chart that has energy, excitement, is fun to
play, and is a thrill to hear, then Bounce is the one
for you! Highly recommended!

RHYTHM SECTION
WORKSHOP FOR
JAZZ DIRECTORS
Shelly Berg, Lou Fischer, Fred
Hamilton and Steve Houghton.
The energy core of any jazz
ensemble or combo is the rhythm
section! It radiates the groove, time
and essence of the music. This
outstanding and comprehensive
series includes introductions,
explanations and instructions on the
essential elements of performance,
such as style, performance tips,
and genres required for the solid
understanding of what is required
of a successful member of this vital
part of the jazz group. There is also a
play-along piece at the end of each
chapter for reinforcement and further
development of appropriate skills.
The seven genres covered in this
excellent method for your rhythm
section are: swing, bossa nova, rock,
shuffle, samba, funk, and ballad.
Additional topics include: volume —
or knowing when not to play; how
to keep time as a rhythm section;
and effective comping. Each student
book includes reproducible pages
and a compact disc. The optional
DVD is included with the director's
book and is also available separately.
The CD offers examples of jazz
grooves, complex rhythms, and
accompaniment tracks for the play-
along pieces. Demonstrations of the
examples are effectively presented
by a driving rhythm section on the
DVD. The complete kit includes: the
Training Kit plus Bass, Drums, Guitar,
Piano and Supplemental Books with
CDs. Each book is authored by a
professional musician and teacher in
the respective performance area.
The entire jazz ensemble will reap
huge rewards when the rhythm
section plays as a cohesive unit
and comprehends the elements of
the chart being performed!
Very highly recommended!

Beneath the Mask—Bob Washut.
Bob Washut's Beneath the Mask is a very enjoyable, somewhat ECM-style chart for
proficient groups that features an even-eighth jazz waltz style that highlights lead alto
and guitar and/or piano on extended improvised solos. While trading 3/4 against 4/4
polyrhythms, this outstanding original contains tons of musical content with soaring
ensemble passages, dynamic contouring and rhythmic interest. The lead trumpet player is
showcased with some soaring lyrical lines, and all trumpets double on flugelhorn. This is a
colorful chart that will definitely be a favorite for better groups!

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

The trumpets start off this poppin' funk chart that's played anywhere from 144 to 152 bpm.
With solid parts for all sections, Soulful Swagger stays true to the medium funky groove and
has plenty of energy and driving ensemble sections to keep it cooking. The open solo section
is over accessible changes followed by super brass writing before an additional solo by the
guitarist. Adding to the excitement is a modulation up for the final section. Well conceived
and well written!
