Here is the early funk classic by Buddy Miles in a hot setting by Roger Holmes. Along with the signature bass riff this chart features flexible solo space for any instrument and crisp background horn figures.

From the deep and sometimes mysterious mind of composer Michael Philip Mossman heres a captivating cha-cha with attitude. Michael skillfully mixes full band scoring with section features and quick trade-off riffs. Also included are solos for tenorand trumpet and some unexpected band vocals.

Using a Basie-style swing treatment and written in 4/4 rather than the traditional 3/4 here is a great-sounding chart from Mark Taylor that will go together quickly. All sections get a chance to shine one this one!

From the recording by Shirley Horn in 1992 this wonderful ballad went on to become her signature song. Beautifully arranged here in a slow bossa style this is a touching and sensitive tune for vocal soloist.
