The original Yankee Doodle Dandy, George M. Cohan, was a major figure in the development of Broadway, but his classic tune never sounded so good! Master arranger Carl Strommen uses his creative harmonic language and perfect sense of jazz style to turn this Broadway march into a medium slow swing chart that uses the elements of the modern jazz ensemble to the fullest. The arrangement leads off with the band playing the first chorus in the mezzo piano range which is one of the reasons that this is a terrific selection to follow a loud burner. The saxophones get a good workout in their soli, and there is solo space for tenor saxophone and trumpet. (Written solos are included.).

Meghan Trainor may think that it's all about that bass, but composer George Shutack makes a case with this solid chart that It's All About That Funk! Punchy rhythmic figures and hard hitting brass lines work together to make this an exciting chart that would work well as a contrasting tune to a swing piece. Great rhythmic workout for the whole band!

Here's a great Latin chart in the tradition of Tiger of San Pedro that has something for everyone. Flowing melodic lines contrasting with punchy brass hits and rhythm section figures that really pop add up to a wonderfully creative chart.
