A totally hip funk tune with a swing sixteenth note feel that really lays right in the groove and every section gets a chance to shine. Your drummer will love the alternating measures of drum fills and ensemble kicks that build with intensity into the trumpet soli feature that in turn explodes into an open solo section for any soloists. Includes a guitar help sheet that includes tablature for licks and chord shape. A great closer that will make good bands sound even better! Really cooks!

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.

Rich DeRosa has created a marvelous Latin composition in a baião feel that is recorded by the North Texas Two O'Clock Lab Band. It comes out of the gate roaring. The very hip melody is stated by flute, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, trumpet and piano. There is plenty of room for improvisation with soloists of your choice, including space for your drummer and any other percussion you might choose to add. The ending of the piece is wild and always brings audiences to their feet! 5-4-4-4 (opt. vibes).

You choose the soloists from tenor saxophone, trumpet and/or trombone. There is also some solo space for your drummer. Miley is a wonderful composer, and this chart is a great addition to our growing library of contemporary composers. 5-4-4-5.

This is another great Oliver Nelson chart (it swings like crazy!). It starts in 3/4 and then goes to 4/4 and has a wonderful feel and flow as it moves through the different sections.

The tempo is bright, a swinging excursion into the clever writing of Holman. Solo space for piano, alto, tenor, trumpet, and drums. There is a great sax section soli and the usual, wonderful, roaring ensemble shout choruses. A big finish ends an amazing chart. 5-5-4-4 (4 tpts. work just as well).

There is solo space for alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, and drums. Filled with energy and excitement, the shout chorus comes roaring in to take the tune out with a bang.
