This classic swinger will send you and your jazz ensemble back to the big band era. By borrowing rhythmic and melodic ideas from two familiar big band standards, Vuono has created his own big band classic. Alto and trumpet are both featured for solos, and their parts contain both chord changes and written solos. To accommodate smaller ensembles, this chart is playable with only five brass.

Check out this tasty setting of an old standard. It features an alto solo on the intro, then settles into a nice bossa groove. The solo section is double time for an added kick, with the bones playing the familiar melody in the background. Great writing!

Another winner to follow the success of Mike’s Barbeque Wings and Barbeque Sauce. Based on slightly altered blues changes, a funky intro sets up this great chart but strays occasionally with some creative transitional material. Features solo space with cued backgrounds. Includes an optional flute part. A really hot big band funk chart!
