Paul Merrill, director of the Cornell University Jazz Ensemble (Ithaca, NY), commissioned this engaging bossa nova original for proficient groups. Don't let the title fool you, though, because there's an abundance of subtle, yet challenging material here requiring a mature approach from the ensemble. The melody is based on a simple four-note motif played by Miles Davis on his album Tutu. Brown later adapted this score for small-group and recorded it on his CD Night Waves (Brown Cats Productions/BC9501). Guitar, tenor sax, and flugelhorn are featured in melodic and solo roles. Duration 5:35.

Recorded by the SWR Big Band on their Fun Time CD, the 'aces' here are the alto sax and trombone soloists who play in separate and simultaneous solos for a truly unique effect. A dynamic chorus by the full ensemble helps seal the whole deal. Scoring calls for flute or clarinet doubles in most (ATTB) sax parts and five trumpets doubling on flugelhorn.

As recorded in 1971 by Buddy Rich on the album A Different Drummer (RCA Victor), this irresistible jazz waltz is a huge treat for bari sax soloists who seldom get the chance to step into the spotlight -- including optional repeats on two solo choruses and a repeated 8-bar vamp, LaBarbera allows up to 132 measures of bari solo work here!

This classic chart is taken directly from the original ink parts that were on the stands at the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) debut performance in February 1966 and continue to be played by the group Monday nights at the Village Vanguard in New York City. Originally commissioned by Count Basie for an entire album of Thad Jones' music, but Basie never made the record, and suggested that Thad start his own band instead. From that advice, Thad formed the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. Based on the chord changes to I Got Rhythm, this uptempo advanced level chart maintains the swinging Basie mindset and is in a 32-measure AABA form. Duration 8:50.
