A high energy Latin pop groove, this one moves along at a pretty good clip---around 240 BPM. It features a soprano sax lead instead of alto 1 and solo space for all saxes, trumpet 4, and trombones 1 and 2. The lead trumpet range is to written high F. A hot sax section soli and some counterpoint round out this cannonball. Hot stuff! (6:28) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Written in memory of Michael Jackson, The King Of Pop, this driving funk original built on a minor motive embodies many of the elements of great big band writing while capturing the spirit and style of Jackson's music. Featuring sophisticated harmonies, a memorable melody, and a catchy groove laid down by bass, baritone sax and bass trombone, soloists include trumpet and tenor sax. This is one of those special charts that's playable by advancing groups, yet has enough substance for more proficient groups, too. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included. Duration 6:45.

Punctuated by screaming brass parts, ad lib solo fills by trumpet and tenor, and an optional solo cadenza before the final chord, this tribute to Louis 'Pops' Armstrong is intended for experienced bands only. Duration 11:30.

It's holiday mash-up time! This is a clever combination of the traditional carol with sultry Brazilian jazz a la Stan Getz. Two transcribed solos are provided for tenor sax and trumpet (or flugelhorn) that mirror the recorded solos, or they can be improvised as desired. The rhythm section parts are fully realized along with suggested piano voicings and bass lines. This is a relaxed and laid-back chart that features sectional solis and the full ensemble for a fresh and modern addition to holiday concert repertoire. Optional parts are included for flute/violin, clarinet and F horn, and the lead trumpet range is to written E top of staff. Highly recommended!
