Professional composer Carl Carl Strommen has followed up his bestselling Line Drive with another great chart sporting a baseball titlethis one refers to alternating two and four feels. As the chart repeatedly switches between a buoyant half-note pulse and a driving swing feel, the result is reminiscent of the music of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Written or ad lib solos for trumpet and tenor create a combo-like setting within the big band context that's well within the grasp of developing groups. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson. Duration 2:50.

An instant winner! Skillfully written for the Jazz Starters Series, Hackin’ It Up! is an original Latin/rock chart that is easy to rehearse, teach and learn. It is certainly an effective and playable composition that introduces young musicians to very easy syncopated rhythms. There is no need for soloist as a unison/tutti section, which may be played by any combination of instruments, has been written instead. This piece is definitely a pace changer and a crowd mover and will sound full with reduced instrumentations.
