Not just any box, but the venerable Chatterbox jazz club! Monika originally recorded this hard-driving shuffle with her Acoustic Project. Now, the angular bebop lines are traded between trumpets and saxes. Solos for trombone, tenor sax, and guitar are provided in note-for-note transcriptions. However, there is room for any soloist before a sax soli further develops the melodic theme. Punchy and confident, this chart does not let up! Top trumpet note: G5 (4:00).

With a bit of progressive rock and a lot of half-time funk, this great chart can be rounded out with optional synthesizer and electric guitar. The sticky grooves and melodies drive the point home. Two carefully transcribed solos are provided for trumpet and guitar that match the superb recorded solos, or they can be improvised as desired. Optional parts are included for flute/violin, clarinet and F horn, and the lead trumpet range is to G top of staff. You can have fun and experiment with different effects in the optional synthesizer part that's well worth the effort. Serious fun and great change-of-pace programming!

Let the rhythm section lay down an earthy groove in half-time funk. The horns ride along with a bluesy melody that builds to a great stop-time. Modest ranges all around with reduced instrumentation (3 Saxes, 2 Trumpets, 1 Bone) keep it within reach of smaller groups, while extra parts for Flute, Clarinet, Horn, Baritone T.C., and Tuba add flexibility. Solo transcriptions are provided that match the recording, along with easier versions of those solos to give younger players a starting point. A hip, fun, and memorable chart. (Top Trumpet Note: D5).

La Curandera Negrita is basically a minor blues chart. Though this piece is written in 6/8, it is perhaps more accurately felt in a lilting triplet divided 4/4---with the dotted quarter receiving the pulse of a quarter note. Embrace the clustery sound of some of the voicings, and rehearse them slowly so your ears grow accustomed to the rubs sounding natural. The bass line changes its underlying pulse more frequently than in an ordinary Latin setting. This chart is longer than most high school-level material. Great interpretive latitude is encouraged so that each performance can sound different. First trumpet: C (2 ledger lines above staff).
