Here is the classic Ellington swinger in a fabulous version for younger players. The drive and excitement of the original is still there as Mark starts out with a small combo of 2 tenors and 2 trombones then gets the full band involved. Includes solos for alto and/or trombone and also for trumpet and/or piano. This chart will sound great with any band!

This John Clayton original from the CD “Groove Shop” explodes into a medium swing groove then features a small group (soprano tenor trumpet and trombone) on the first go-around of the tune. The saxes have a solifeature and the entire ensemble helps deliver the powerful shout. Includes solos for trumpet and piano.

Creatively arranged in a medium swing big band style this Donovan hit from the 60's works great for young players. There is plenty of solid scoring for the ensemble in addition to solos for trumpet tenor sax and piano.

You don't normally think of this great tune as an up-tempo burner but Mark Taylor's creative chart is a real eye opener! Features solos for Trumpet Tenor and Piano.

Made popular by Sergio Mendez back in the 60's this up-tempo samba sounds great with bands with limited experience. The rhythm section parts are all carefully notated and the melodic lines are easy to learn. Solos can be playedby piano alto sax or trumpet. Another great adaptation for beginning bands from Michael Sweeney.

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)

Recorded by such greats as Marvin Gaye Diana Ross and most recently Michael McDonald this rockin' Motown classic will sound great with your beginning players. Easy to learn and fun to play!
