Frosty goes to the jazz club with this Michael Bublé-inspired arrangement of the wintertime classic. A rapid swing tempo, walking string bass line, and stylized syncopations sync up to create an undeniably big-band vintage vibe. The back and forth banter between voice parts is a blast to perform and adds a charming flair. A Puppini Sisters feature is an optional treble trio or duet in the middle, and a huge drum fill kicks off the ultimate jazz-hands chord at the end. Your jazz ensemble will dig playing the SoundPax instrumentation, or perform with the sizzling SoundTrax.

Set in an easy, modern samba feel, this chart for advancing groups is influenced by the music of Pat Metheny, Kenny Wheeler, and Maria Schneider. Smooth lines and satisfying chord voicings combine to create a gentle, yet complex conversation between sections of the jazz ensemble, and the use of cross-section writing promotes a strong sense of independence. The sophisticated and comfortable chord changes give the tenor sax and trumpet soloists a chance to stretch out and fully develop their ideas. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set, and rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 8:20. Available in SmartMusic.

This is a unique jazz ensemble resource that includes music for rehearsal and performance that can be used to enable your band to sound more mature, become better sight-readers, and help students develop as confident improvisers. The book is divided into 3 sections that become progressively more challenging, both for the wind player and the rhythm section players. The rhythm section parts are completely written out, but also include chord changes to help students make the connection between fully notated parts and chords and slashes. One of the fundamental abilities that all great Jazz groups share is that they can play a swinging unison line so together that it sounds like one voice waving through time. The purpose of this book is to help beginning and intermediate ensembles develop this skill and zero in on the most basic form of Jazzâthe BLUES.

At the end of 1938, Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941) returned to New York from his years in Washington, D.C. Recent publicity had made a comeback seem possible, and he hoped to recapture the prominent place in the jazz world that he had held in the 1920s. Still well known, though mainly as a New Orleans music pioneer, he understood that in order to be taken seriously as a contemporary artist, he needed to form a big band like those of his competition, such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. In the 1920s Morton's recordings and tours featured a ten-piece band following the first-generation big-band format. But in the late 1930s, larger groups were popular, so Morton assembled a conventional '30s band consisting of four saxophones, six brass, and four rhythm. The band was to open at the Golden Gate Ballroom in Harlem on April 17th, 1939, but on opening night Morton collapsed before going onstage. During his recuperation from the asthma and heart problems that dogged him, the band broke up, never to reassemble. Only six items written for that band's instrumentation are known to exist: Morton's arrangements of his own compositions -- Finger Breaker, GanJam, Good Old New York, Mister Joe, and Stop and Go -- and an arrangement, Mamies' Blues, by another artist. -- James Dapogny (Editor)
As an editor, Dapogny shows his customary sound musical scholarship and deep knowledge of Morton's style....The publishers are to be congratulated for bringing this fascinating work into the public domain, which throws a totally new light on 'Mister Jelly Lord.' Who knows what he would have achieved had he lived beyond his alleged 51 years? --Martin Litton, for JUST JAZZ (Feb 2011)

The concert piece Paganini Jazz by Fazil Say, which was inspired by classical, modern and jazz styles, is reminiscent of the music of such greats as Scott Joplin, Art Tatum, Gershwin and Bernstein, and was originally designed as a charming encore work (1988); following the appreciative response of music lovers and, in particular, that of music critics, it was transformed over a perion of time into a more substantial work for piano. Briefly, the piece was rewritten and expanded a number of times between 1988 and 1995. We can evaluate the work as having taken its inspiration from Paganini's renowned 24th Capriccio, transforming it into variationson jazz requiring virtuoso rendition as well as being a creation open to the addition of improvisations and a variety of arrangements. Throughout music history a number of composers have written various works inspired by the 24th Capriccio. We can count among them Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov and Lutoslavski. In Say's work, however, a different aspect must be noted: the composer is prepared to add various developmental passages and transitional improvisations while interpreting this work in concert. Furthermore, when the work is considered as a short encore piece, it is abbreviated in a manner deemed suitable by Say.

Scored for augmented jazz ensemble, this setting of the famous theme (a.k.a. Danny Boy) features legato woodwind flourishes and sustained brass chords. In his score notes, Sammy Nestico says that all real 'blowing' should be saved for the ensemble chorus midway through, where a full, fat sound will produce vivid contrast with the quiet opening and closing.
