From master arranger Michael Abene here is a slow cooking blues chart that features the piano and some wonderfully outrageous ensemble scoring. This is the authentic version originally recorded by the GRP All-Star Band on theirGrammy Award winning CD ?ALL BLUES? and rescored for standard jazz ensemble instrumentation. Requires woodwind doubling and a mature rhythm section.

Recorded by the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (“Soft Lights And Hot Music”) Michael Abene's outstanding chart casts this Irving Berlin standard in a totally new light. (You will find the melody in the bass line of the 2ndphrase). Featuring a blazing tempo with furious lines and screaming ensemble passages this is an exciting piece for mature bands! (Woodwind doubles optional)

Discovery Jazz – Grade 1.5Here is a good example of creative arranging using very limited technical demands. Michael has taken this familiar standard and converted it into a smooth-sounding Latin chart. Atrumpet/alto duet starts things out then the full ensemble gets into the act. No solos are required however a stop-time section features written or ad lib. drum fills.

Grade 1.5 What better way to introduce the music of Duke Ellington to your young jazzers than with this wonderfully scored arrangement by Michael Sweeney? Even at this easy level this chart really swings and will sound great with limited rehearsaltime. Your pianist gets a rare chance to shine as he or she is featured on the melody while the ensemble answers. Later every section gets to play the melody and there is a solo section for any sax. The final section starts softly with saxes alone then builds as various layers are added. A great-sounding chart for beginning bands. Enjoy great flexibility with the Discovery Jazz series! Playable with 3 saxes 2 trumpets 1 trombone piano and drums.
