Jumpin' at the Woodside—Count Basie/arr. Rich DeRosa. This one just builds and builds!
Rich DeRosa keeps this Count Basie signature tune swinging all the way and includes two optional
tag endings to keep the Basie style intact. The solos are written out for piano, tenor sax, trumpet and
trombone and the lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff with an A on the optional tag
ending. Optional parts are included for expanded instrumentation. One of the Count's finest!

Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Sy Johnson. This is an awesome Mingus double-time swing chart
in the original version as recorded on the Mingus Big Band 93 CD. It kicks off with a hot bari sax intro,
features some really tight licks, an extended open solo section, and an infectious bari sax line that drives
the whole piece. Serious jazz for serious bands!

Oye Como Va—Tito Puente/arr. Paul Murtha. This arrangement of Tito Puente's Latin-rock classic
is an absolute "must" for young jazzers! Made famous by Santana, and loaded with Latin-American
spirit, this chart is perfect for teaching Latin style, while the simple chord structure takes the mystery out
of improvising. It's hot!

September—arr. Mark Taylor. Here's the classic funk tune from Earth, Wind & Fire in a terrific
arrangement for big band by Mark Taylor. This one includes all your favorite signature horn riffs as well
as a solo for tenor sax.

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!

Sir Duke—Stevie Wonder/arr. Michael Mossman. In 1977 Stevie Wonder was in his prime and
Sir Duke was on top of the charts. Michael Philip Mossman takes this familiar hit and adds his own
unique touch. The opening features the brass with sax section fills. The middle section goes into a
double-time swing and includes a solo for tenor sax, a soli for the saxes, and a drum break. All the
familiar lines from the original are there too! Suggested solos are included along with scale/chord
sheets in all keys. Highly recommended!

Take the 'A' Train—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Vince Gassi. This chart swings all the way and is very
playable by a young jazz ensemble. Arranger Vince Gassi offers a fresh take on this classic, yet captures
the essence of this well-known Strayhorn composition made famous by Ellington. It's scored exactly
right for younger players... not too difficult but with fun-to-play parts. With brief written solos for 1st alto
sax and 1st trumpet, and easy ranges, it also has plenty of dynamics to teach. A superb chart you will
play for years to come! Optional reduced or expanded instrumentation.

Watermelon Man—Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike Kamuf. Oh yeah! This is a crowd pleaser and a
band pleaser... a win-win! Fun, funky, hip, groovy — call it what you want, this chart is excellent in every
way... and if you have a decent bari player, he or she will really love this one. There are written solos
for alto and tenor sax, a stop-time without rhythm section for the saxes, a fantastic interlude section,
a monster shout chorus, and some short drum fills... what's not to like!? Very highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

What a Wonderful World—Douglas & Weiss/arr. Rick Stitzel. Giving your beginning band great
tunes like this to play will turn them on to jazz forever! You just can't beat the appeal of the tune Louis
Armstrong made so famous, and it's surely stood the test of time. This very playable version is nicely
scored where each section gets a piece of the melody.Very highly recommended!

Whiplash—Hank Levy/arr. Erik Morales. Featured in the 2014 movie "Whiplash," depicting the
relationship between an ambitious student musician and an abusive, yet respected instructor, this
chart is a super-exciting work in 7/4 composed by Hank Levy and arranged by Erik Morales. Don't be
intimidated by the meter... it's challenging, but after a few minutes it feels quite natural and the students
will totally groove on it. The melody is stated by 2nd trumpet and 1st alto with solo space for both on
easy chord changes. Articulation is critical and the rhythm section may want to spend some quality time
together. The lead trumpet range is to written D above the staff. This is a unique but very desirable chart
to have in your library. You won't regret playing Whiplash!
