A major league swinger which gives the whole band a chance to shine. Lots of ensemble kicks with space for solo fills by the drummer and a nice solo section for any sax soloists of your choosing. The trombones have a nice soli and the whole band has interesting parts. A great opener for any concert or contest performance by good bands. It really is Twice As Cool.

This Oliver Nelson melody was originally recorded with a small group. Bob Curnow took this great tune and arranged it for big band in a very hip way! Set in an easy swing feel, this chart has quite a bluesy feel to it while providing a nice variation to the standard blues changes that you might not expect. There is solo space for alto saxophone, trombone and piano. In this pro (original) version, you will find Oliver Nelson's amazing solo transcribed and arranged as a trumpet soli. Very cool and fun to play! If you like Oliver Nelson's music, you'll love this chart! 5-4-4-3.

Hip and cool doesn't have to take a lot of rehearsal time and hard work - at least not with this chart. The ranges are conservative and the rhythms are basic, but you'd never know it from the big and full sound. An open solo section for any instrument on very basic chord changes, plus lots of hard driving ensemble writing make this one a true winner.

A big time contemporary urban rock chart that really delivers the heat by L.A. film music writer Lenny Stack. The ranges aren't extreme, but the lead trumpet will need a good solid high C. Very cool!

Your band will really swing with this tasty chart that lays right in the groove. Every section gets to play the melody while easy dorian solo changes over a blues style 12 bar format makes the open solo section approachable by any instrument in the band. The guitar helper part includes tablature and chord shape/performance suggestions. A written piano solo and optional vibes and vocal parts enhance the performance possibilities. Cool chart!

This is a lovely, cool, easy-swing chart that explores linear material as written for and recorded by the North Texas One O'clock Lab Band (Lab 2013). Flute and bass clarinet doubles are required, and the drummer is featured throughout with brushes. This piece has the feel of a theme and variations, and contains very rich harmonies and voicings. 5-4-4-4.

This one is way cool, but the energy it creates is hot. It's a medium tempo swinger in a minor key, reminiscent of some of the great Buddy Rich tunes. Just when you think you know where it's going, the harmonies change and lead to something new. The open section for solos of your choice is built upon very basic minor Blues changes. Plenty of dynamic contrasts, with a very soft sax soli leading into a shout chorus that really roars.

A very playable rock ballad which features your trumpet section on either trumpets or flugelhorns. Solid ensemble writing makes this an outstanding programming choice for mid-level bands. Very cool!

Everybody knows this classic children's hymn, but nobody has heard it quite like this before. It's very cool and a lot of fun. Can feature any instrumental or even vocal soloists. A word of warning: if you use a vocalist, there's a very good chance that the audience will start singing along with some hand jive motions included. Playable with limited instrumentation. A truly unique arrangement, it's perfect for church and private school performances!
