Imagine Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers sitting in with Tito Puente's big band, and you've got Blue Mambo! While the rhythmic feel of the tune is absolutely Latin, the primary melody is a 24-bar long-form minor blues. The range of orchestration, from a jazz combo statement of the melody to full ensemble writing, will make it easy for your band to get in the groove of this tune. The accessible solo section has plenty of room, with optional solos for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, and Guitar. This chart is an impressive opener for any concert or festival performance. Highest trumpet note: B.

This chart features the sound of a New Orleans funeral marching band historically known as the Second Line which follows behind the family and casket. It’s a time for celebration coming after the initial mourning period. Lots of fun to play in the style of a funky, marching Dixieland band. The harmonic form is the Blues and there is room made for soloing both inside the ensemble and for featured soloists. Includes an optional flute part.

Get the whole room clapping! This fun piece is designed to let the director interact with the audience and give the students, parents, and grandparents an opportunity to participate in the program with the ensemble. It has a blues feel and the director could turn this into an impromptu lesson on dynamics, the blues, or the different sounds of the strings: pizzicato, arco, and tremolo.

Nelson wrote an album for Johnny Hodges (Black, Brown and Beautiful, RCA) featuring the compositions of Duke Ellington and also some of his original things. This Ellington tune just romps and stomps right from the start. The ensemble shouts just scream with wonderful voicings that lift you up out of your seat! There is solo space for Alto Sax (of course), Trumpet and Piano. Ellington's melody and Nelson's arrangement ...... an absolute winning combination! Your band will love this one! 5-4-4-4.

This is a great chart to feature your drummer and the entire ensemble! Starting out with a bombastic Eastern-sounding introduction (ala Genghis Khan), it then launches into a hard-driving minor blues stated by the trombone, trumpet and tenor saxophone. There is solo space for tenor saxophone, trumpet and drums with exciting ensemble figures throughout. This chart provides lots of room for your drummer to solo and fill. 5-4-4-3.

At the end of 1938, Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941) returned to New York from his years in Washington, D.C. Recent publicity had made a comeback seem possible, and he hoped to recapture the prominent place in the jazz world that he had held in the 1920s. Still well known, though mainly as a New Orleans music pioneer, he understood that in order to be taken seriously as a contemporary artist, he needed to form a big band like those of his competition, such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. In the 1920s Morton's recordings and tours featured a ten-piece band following the first-generation big-band format. But in the late 1930s, larger groups were popular, so Morton assembled a conventional '30s band consisting of four saxophones, six brass, and four rhythm. The band was to open at the Golden Gate Ballroom in Harlem on April 17th, 1939, but on opening night Morton collapsed before going onstage. During his recuperation from the asthma and heart problems that dogged him, the band broke up, never to reassemble. Only six items written for that band's instrumentation are known to exist: Morton's arrangements of his own compositions -- Finger Breaker, GanJam, Good Old New York, Mister Joe, and Stop and Go -- and an arrangement, Mamies' Blues, by another artist. -- James Dapogny (Editor)

As an editor, Dapogny shows his customary sound musical scholarship and deep knowledge of Morton's style....The publishers are to be congratulated for bringing this fascinating work into the public domain, which throws a totally new light on 'Mister Jelly Lord.' Who knows what he would have achieved had he lived beyond his alleged 51 years? --Martin Litton, for JUST JAZZ (Feb 2011)

Sitting behind his desk in his new office, David Well thought : 'Well Done!
After weeks of slogging he had his old office despite everything turned into a nice room.
A lot of daylight, fresh colors and a beautiful view of the rural setting.
And you can hear it. Well Done!: light, cheerful and excited, in a pop / rock style with an slight hint of blues.

Zittend achter zijn bureau in zijn nieuwe werkplek, dacht David Well: 'Well Done!'
Na weken ploeteren had hij z'n oude werkhok toch maar mooi omgetoverd tot een fijne ruimte.
