The Cat's Meow is straight-ahead swinger in the same vein as Benny Golson's classic Killer Joe. The melody is a very simple riff that repeats at different levels over the course of the form. The cat who inspired the tune is a furry exotic Persian named Berlioz who took up residence in the composer's house. Like most cats, his life consists mainly of eating and sleeping. He most often resides at the top of the stairs, and never bothers to try to get out of the way.

One Cool Cat! features a playful melody sauntering along a beguiling chord progression in this enjoyable chart by Rob Vuono, Jr. The intro leads way to the cool sounds of trumpet and alto sax on melody, with tenor saxes and trombones later joining in on a counter melody. Much dialog and interplay between sections of the band is featured, and the piano gets to shine with oh-so-hip fills that are sure to bring a smile (all piano fills are fully notated with chord changes to ensure success). A solo section follows (any instrument may be featured here; suggested solos are provided), with swinging backgrounds adding some punch here and there. An impressive ensemble ensues after the solo section, leading to a brilliant shout chorus before alighting on the most purr-fect coda with grace and aplomb. One cool chart you just can’t miss!
