No one brought musical energy and excitement to the stage like the Blues brothers! Here is a concise and easy medley of their biggest hits including I can't Turn you Loose Soul Man and Gimme Some Lovin.

Bien que composé à l?origine pour la comédie musicale de 1962 No strings cette chanson de Richard Rodgers s?est établie comme un classique qui est souvent enregistré par les artistes du jazz. Dans ce magnifique arrangement pour saxophone alto solo Mark Taylor fait sortir le groove de samba modéré grâce à l?envolée lyrique de la mélodie originale et prévoit de nombreux endroits qui permettent à l?ensemble entier de briller aussi.

Plenty of solid tutti ensemble scoring is featured in this arrangement for small group of Sonny Rollins' familiar Latin standard. The solo section can be opened up for any player and a tasty unison ensemble chorus follows. (Grade 3)

Mark Taylor takes this familiar standard and creates a powerful uptempo flag-waver for mature ensembles. The style slips seamlessly between swing and samba and provides some shining moments for lead trumpet along with the rest of the ensemble. Also featured are solos for tenor sax trumpet piano and drums a sax soli and a screaming ensemble shout chorus. (Recorded by the Mark Taylor Big Band)

Young Jazz Classics-One of the most enduring compositions from Miles Davis' early career is this medium swing tune recorded on the 1954 album Walkin'. In this terrific chart for younger players Rick Stitzel uses some nifty phrase extensionsin the beginning then alternates the full ensemble with statements by a small group. Solos for trumpet and tenor sax are also included.

This classic rock hit from the '60s sounds just as dynamic today as when it was first recorded. The saxes and trumpets take turns on the melody and there is a solo (or soli) for any sax. This one will sound great with beginning groups. (Includes CD)

One of the great rock grooves of all time from the group Santana. This easy chart features solid ensemble writing and the 2-chord vamp makes it easy for soloing!

This jazz standard was composed by legendary vibraphonist Milt Jackson and recorded notably by Milt with Oscar Peterson on the album of the same name. Opening with the theme played by a small group of tenor trumpet guitar and vibes thisgreat-sounding chart is set in a medium tempo swing style and features terrific scoring for the entire ensemble. With the blues format this is a perfect vehicle for multiple soloists.

This R&B hit recorded by Wilson Pickett in the '60s features a catchy groove in a medium rock tempo. Paul's solid arrangement will sound great with limited rehearsal time. (Includes full performance CD)
