This Bigâ€League chart spotlights all of the sections of the jazz ensemble with highâ€energy and verve. Opening with an effective piano solo/rhythm section soli, Welcome to the Majors features a driving, liteâ€shuffle beat that propels the breezy melody and crisp ensembles over a set of slightly altered blues changes. A 4â€bar kickâ€off leads to a tenor sax solo, and this solo section may be opened up for other players as desired. An 8 bar trombone soli leads way to the incisive and biting shout chorus that builds and builds. Fresh, spirited, and lots of fun for concert and contest alike. A real home run!

This laidback, down-home blues features a strong melody, great ensemble writing, and plenty of solo space.

This one is a must have for any library! Duration ca. 7:30.

Beautiful and creative adaptation of the familiar theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony, this arrangement is just what you need for the ballad spot in your contest/competition programs. Written as a trumpet/flugelhorn feature, it is equally effective spotlighting an alto saxophone. The frequently changing harmonies and flowing counter lines keep things interesting while the limited ranges and easy rhythms keep things simple. No worries. A guaranteed winner!
