An instant winner! Skillfully written for the Jazz Starters Series, Hackin’ It Up! is an original Latin/rock chart that is easy to rehearse, teach and learn. It is certainly an effective and playable composition that introduces young musicians to very easy syncopated rhythms. There is no need for soloist as a unison/tutti section, which may be played by any combination of instruments, has been written instead. This piece is definitely a pace changer and a crowd mover and will sound full with reduced instrumentations.

Infused with rock-fusion influences throughout, this smart Jamie Roth work is contemporary and cool. A synthesizer solo sets the tone for the bright-tempo rock feel. Muted trumpets and saxes build the first statement, punctuated by bari sax and bass bone, before the ensemble reaches a fantastic peak. There is ample solo space for any instrument. Don't miss this one! Top trumpet note: D6.
