This is our hottest rocker in the funky Tower of Power tradition this year. The second trumpet and lead tenor share the head and solo responsibilities and Rob provides a written solo as well as changes for both. Restricted ranges and a repetitive rhythmic pattern make this an easy grade 4.

This chart joins rock and fusion elements with ingenious harmonies to make music that is sure to please. The rhythmic feel changes from straight eighths to a funky half-time groove while the melody is traded throughout different parts of the ensemble. Some great auxiliary percussion keeps your students involved while adding some creative color to this unique composition.

What a great chart! The Sermon seamlessly integrates gospel rock jazz and Dixieland. The sax section is featured prominently throughout and the rest of the ensemble gets plenty of exciting material as well. The melody is a strong hook and is naturally developed throughout the chart including a short Dixieland section that includes an optional clarinet for a really authentic sound. This one is destined to become a bestseller!

What a great way to get your entire audience involved! Every parent will immediately recognize this standard by Domingo Samudio based on a classic rock and roll beat that is easy to achieve with younger players. An open solo section based on the 12-bar blues lets you feature as many players as you would like and all parts come with an optional written solo. A hip shout chorus brings this one home. Outstanding!

Rob Vuono continues to show why his beginning jazz arrangements are so popular. This clever arrangement with a bossa flavor is ideal for teaching basic concepts of this unique style. Very easy to play and a good change of pace from the swing and rock charts programmed on your concert.
