Fletcher Henderson's 'Down South Camp Meeting' is a medium swing tune with an infectious melody. A trumpet solo leads to a key change with challenging sax soli, and then a switches to all clarinets for a buildup to the final shout chorus. / Ensemble De Jazz

Heavy metal big band! Guitar is the featured solo instrument in this very cool chart so if you, the band, and your drummer dig a rock vehicle to wake everyone up---'Steampunk' by Erik Morales is it. Lead trumpet range only to written G on top of the staff. A suggested written guitar solo is provided if needed. Totally exciting and a great tune for guitar and big band! (5:43) / Ensemble De Jazz

Not to be confused with the same titled piece from the Nutcracker Suite, this tenor sax feature from Duke's later years has an open almost 'world music' groove that transitions to straight ahead swing. Contrasting traditional harmonic sections with vamp like textures, odd phrase lengths and his usual colorful orchestration, makes this one of Duke's great compositions. / Ensemble De Jazz
