4 Kick It to the Curb—Dean Sorenson. From the
First Place for Jazz Series comes this minor blues
chart that features swinging lines and intricate
counterpoint for young jazz ensembles. The

showcases a different texture and a roaring shout
chorus. All First Place for Jazz selections feature
moderate ranges, notated rhythm section parts,
and open solo sections. Suggested solos are
included and it's playable with optional reduced
or expanded instrumentations. A great learning
experience for young jazz bands!

4 Nostalgia in Times Square—Charles Mingus/arr.
Victor Lopez. Don't miss this jazz standard com-
posed by the legendary Mingus! Swinging at around
144 bpm, this chart delivers with outstanding soli
passages as well as superb written or improvised
solos for tenor and trumpet. The brass ranges
are accessible, there are nice full ensemble
sections along with highly effective interludes,
and there are optional wind parts for augmented
instrumentations. It's just what you need for your
jazz book, and it's highly recommended!

l Scarborough Fair—arr. Paul Murtha. Using
the traditional English folk song as a basis, Paul
Murtha found a creative treatment as an up-tempo
jazz waltz! With a natural flowing groove, this
swinging chart opens with a trio of alto, trumpet
and trombone on the main theme. There's also
great scoring for the entire ensemble along with
suggested or improvised solos for the three
featured players. Uniquely effective!

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!

4 Sonnymoon for Two—Sonny Rollins/arr. Paul
Murtha. Riff-based blues tunes are always valuable
when teaching young players to improvise,
and here is one of the best! Arranged here for
inexperienced players, this Sonny Rollins classic
features a swing style at a moderate tempo, a
simple melodic riff, and a flexible solo section for
encouraging any player to give soloing a try using
the blues scale. Chord/scale sheets in all keys
are provided as well as fully-notated bass lines
and piano voicings. This very appealing chart is
also playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations. Highly recommended!

l Steppin' Out with My Baby—Irving Berlin/arr.
Rick Stitzel. This iconic Irving Berlin standard from
the 1940s is arranged here for younger players and
provides the perfect vehicle for teaching swing
rhythms and style. Every section gets a chance at
the melody and there are short written solo spots
for any saxophone or any trumpet. Additionally,
it's playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations. Outstanding for instruction and
performance!

H 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.

4 T
here Will Never Be Another You—arr. Mark
Taylor. Here's a great chart on the familiar Harry
Warren jazz standard that features the drummer on
brushes and tasty figures from the full ensemble. Also
featured are wonderful sectional and full ensemble
passages that display your band's ability for cohesive
playing. There's a suggested or improvised solo
for trombone supported by excellent background
writing. Here is a highly creative and tasteful chart
that exemplifies this arranger's skill. Developing
groups will find it ideal for festivals, concerts and
casual occasions. Highly recommended!

n 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!

n 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!

4 You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To—Cole
Porter/arr. Paul Baker. Ah, yes, Cole Porter! Paul
Baker has created a quality chart on this wonderful
jazz standard from the Great American Songbook.
It's a crafty swinger at around 168 bpm featuring
appealing sections for the full ensemble, written
or improvised solos for alto and trumpet, a great
saxophone soli, and a very hip interlude that builds
right to the end. The lead trumpet range is to
written F-sharp and additional parts are included
for optional expanded instrumentations. Quality
writing in a fine chart that's highly recommended!
