Blues & Swing
Hurricane Season—Troy Andrews/arr. John
Wasson. From the Trombone Shorty CD
Backatown, this tune features the powerful
underlying pulse of a New Orleans second line
feel along with elements of contemporary rock.
There's written or improvised solo space for
trumpet. In this exciting chart, the ensemble
alternately screams with the full band riffs,
then settles into a simmering rhythmic groove.
Also included are written bass lines and piano
voicings. A real treat to perform and hear!

H In the Mood—Joe Garland. This Glenn Miller
classic is a must for every jazz band library!
Carefully edited and available with a full score, this
arrangement has everything you need to recreate
the original including a trumpet solo, and a short
call-and-response passage between the alto and
tenor saxes. It's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!

Isn't She Lovely?—Stevie Wonder/arr. Mike
Tomaro. Recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1976
on his acclaimed album Songs in the Key of
Life, this beautiful song is a good example of
combining elements of jazz with pop. Keeping
the same easy-flowing shuffle groove of the
original, Mike Tomaro adapts this very nicely for
the contemporary big band!

4 Jumpin' East of Java—Brian Setzer/arr. John
Berry. Recorded by the Brian Setzer Orchestra on the
album Varoom, this high-energy swing tune gives the
entire ensemble a workout. The melody is skillfully
traded around between sections of the ensemble,
and there are brief solos for alto saxophone and
trumpet. Cool and confident, this chart combines the
classic sounds of the swing era with a contemporary
and colorful vibe! Highly recommended!

H Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Andrew Homzy.
Here's a playable yet very effective arrangement
of this signature Mingus composition. The familiar
baritone sax riff is handled by three saxes, and
there is also a substantial soli for the entire
saxophone section. Optional parts are included
for flute, clarinet and French horn. A terrific
introduction to the genius of Mingus!

Move (from Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool)—
Denzil Best/arr. Mike Tomaro. Recorded by Miles
Davis on his landmark album Birth of the Cool,
this jazz standard was composed by Denzil Best
using the same chord changes as Count Basie's
Jumpin' at the Woodside. This exciting chart
features an up-tempo swing style along with a
fabulous soli for the saxes. This one is a great
introduction to the music of a jazz icon!

4 One More Twice—Paul Baker. Beginning
full bore with the entire ensemble, One More
Twice has a straight-ahead swing style that is
unmistakable! The melody is passed from the
saxes to the trumpets, and then the trombones
take over on the bridge. Solo changes are
provided for trumpet and trombone. An extremely
hip a cappella section highlights the sax section,
punctuated by the brass. The rhythm section
brings it back to the bridge and final section of
the shout chorus. The trumpet range is to written
C, the trombone range is to F, and the tempo is
set at 164 bpm. Highly recommended!

H
Out of the Doghouse—Erik Morales. Arranger/
composer Erik Morales delivers! This outstanding
shuffle chart sounds like a big old freight train
coming down the tracks, and it just builds and
builds! There's a wonderful section after the optional
solos that features a powerful sax soli without the
rhythm section, and there are great breaks for
piano and drums throughout. There are also some
independent bari sax lines and optional written
solos for alto, tenor and guitar. The lead trumpet
range is to written A above the staff and there's an
optional ending with lead trumpet notes up to C.
This is a hot chart! Our highest recommendation!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

H Perdido—Juan Tizol/arr. Victor Lopez. Mambo!
Arranger Victor Lopez has masterfully intertwined
a mambo and a swing feel in this great Juan Tizol
jazz classic. Featuring a fully notated tenor sax
solo, lead trumpet range to written A, a brief sax
soli and lots of excitement throughout, this chart
is pure fun to hear and play! Don't be "lost", play
Perdido! Optional expanded instrumentation.

4 Sack of Woe—Julian Adderley/arr. Mark Taylor.
Originally recorded by the Cannonball Adderley
Quintet, here's a classic jazz tune that works
great for younger ensembles. Arranged here in an
attractive shuffle funk style, there's nice balance
between a small group flavor and riffs scored for
the entire ensemble. Suggested solos are included
for alto sax and trumpet along with chord/scale
sheets in all keys. An all-time favorite in the jazz
repertoire, this is highly recommended!

Sandu—Clifford Brown/arr. Chris Sharp. Clifford
Brown's Sandu has long been a jam-session
staple for anyone that wants to shred some E-flat
blues. Chris Sharp delivers great ensemble writing
that really swings in the chart's blow section. The
familiar melody is featured with a trumpet and tenor
sax duet at the top of the tune and returns with
the duet at the end. Sandu also includes written or
improvised solos for tenor sax and trumpet with
a great "rhythm out" interlude between the solos.
As if that isn't enough, there's an excellent sax
section soli and a roaring shout chorus before the
recap! Our highest recommendation!

H
Shiny Stockings—Frank Foster/arr. Greg Yasini-
tsky. Frank Foster's composition Shiny Stockings
is one of the greatest jazz tunes ever for big band.
Arranged by Greg Yasinitsky and scored at an
accessible level, this chart has all the ingredients
you expect plus a few short section solis and an
ensemble shout chorus. This arrangement stays
very close to the original, yet is more accessible for
developing groups. Other features include a written
solo for 2nd trumpet with the lead trumpet range
to written A above the staff. This Basie classic
belongs in every jazz library! Highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/trans. Mike
Lewis. Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable
swing tune of all time! This incredible transcription
is as close as you're going to come to the original
(which included clarinet and less than a full
compliment of brass). This chart is scored for a
standard 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and
rhythm, but aside from that, it is the original as
played by Benny Goodman. Every lick is there,
including all the Gene Krupa drum breaks! This
chart is a must for every big band's library!

Stompin' at the Savoy—arr. Greg Yasinitsky.
After the initial statement, Greg Yasinitsky gives
this Benny Goodman treasure an updated and
contemporary flair while remaining true to the
original. It's all there in this exciting chart... nice
dynamic contrasts, a stop-time section, a sax
section soli, ensemble interludes, a written or
improvised trumpet 2 solo, and it's all played
around 168 bpm. The lead trumpet range is to
written B-flat above the staff and optional parts
are included for expanded instrumentations. Solid
with proven appeal!

4 Teaneck—Nat Adderley/arr. Mike Dana. Teaneck
is a superb swing chart on a tune made famous
by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet! At around
150 bpm, this is a well-written chart in every way,
with nice ensemble sections, a sax soli, the initial
melody scored for alto and trumpet, written-out
solos for trumpet and alto, lead trumpet range to
written G, and an optional vibraphone part. Big-
band jazz at its best!

Things Ain't What They Used to Be—
Mercer Ellington/arr. Alan Baylock. Mercer
Ellington's classic blues shuffle gets the Baylock
treatment! The style is down home and the
solos are for alto, trumpet, trombone, and tenor
sax. Also included is a powerful Baylock-style
shout chorus and optional parts for expanded
instrumentations. It's a fun chart and it gets our
highest recommendation!

Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Erik Morales.
Wow! If Nat Adderley could hear this chart on his
iconic jazz standard, he would be pleased! The
first statement stays very close to the original,
which is a good thing. The solos are for written
or improvised alto and trumpet, and the solo
backgrounds are simply wonderful. This swinger
plays well at about 176 bmp, has excellent full-
ensemble passages, a bari sax and rhythm
section break before the last chorus, an exciting
shout chorus, and great development. This chart
has it all! Our highest recommendation!
