There's always time for the blues. This original by John Clayton (and recorded by the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra on “Heart and Soul”) is set in a bluesy and relaxed tempo and provides lots of room for soloists to“holler” at each other. After the opening conversation between two trumpets the sax section lays down the main theme followed by answers provided by the brass. Solos for tenor alto trombone piano follow andfinally the full band takes us the rest of the way. This is a great chart to settle back on and just swing!

Mark has arranged this well-known jazz tune by Bobby Timmons as a piano feature at the beginning. The saxes take it after the piano and there is a solo section with sample written solos for piano tenor sax and/or trumpet. This medium tempo swing chart also features a nice ensemble chorus before returning to the head.

Here's a tuneful jazz standard by the master of jazz piano Bill Evans. This creative and appealing medium swing chart features interesting counterpoint along with the classic melody. Tenor sax and trumpet share the solo duties.

Young Jazz Ensemble – Grade 3From the hit movie Moulin Rouge this moving ballad provides a nice way to feature several sections of the ensemble in a well-paced arrangement. The tender opening with piano andflugels (opt. trumpets) leads to an alto sax solo on the verse. The full ensemble builds to the emotional peak before the chart winds down to a quiet close with brief written solos for piano and alto sax. Nicely done.

Dedicated to Count Basie this up-tempo swinger opens with a chorus for piano but then quickly launches into a driving swing feel with a sax lead and brass punches. Featured are solos for tenor trombone and trumpet along with sparkling ensemble figures.
