This chart really fills a void in literature for this level. It is designed to be played on synth with a cool electric piano sound, but we tried it with acoustic piano and it sounds great that way too. The piano part is completely written out- Frank's idea to create a contemporary sounding piece for a classically trained piano student is right on the money! Of course, it you are blessed with the student who is comfortable with improvising, so much the better.

Ryan Fraley's arrangement of Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre transforms the iconic nineteenth-century supernatural tone poem into a dynamic 1930s hot-jazz piece reminiscent of Django Reinhardt's swing style. The work brings the haunting themes to life, set against compelling backbeats. It features skillfully written solos for plunger trumpet and trombone, an open solo section for improvisation (transcribed solos provided), and a sizzling sax soli, inviting musicians to delve into a fusion of classical sophistication and the exuberant spirit of early jazz. Top trumpet note: F-sharp 5.

The Cat's Meow is straight-ahead swinger in the same vein as Benny Golson's classic Killer Joe. The melody is a very simple riff that repeats at different levels over the course of the form. The cat who inspired the tune is a furry exotic Persian named Berlioz who took up residence in the composer's house. Like most cats, his life consists mainly of eating and sleeping. He most often resides at the top of the stairs, and never bothers to try to get out of the way.
