Rich DeRosa, Professor of Jazz Composition at the University of North Texas, has written an exquisite ballad in dedication to Neil Slater (UNT Jazz Studies chair and director of One O'Clock Lab Band, retired). Originally recorded by the UNT One O'Clock Lab Band on their album Lab 2015, 'Neil' features the piano with a lot of room to improvise, combined with gorgeous, lush, legato ensemble passages. Quite playable by most bands, this chart has very limited brass ranges (highest note for trumpet is a written G) and will be a fantastic addition to any concert program! This 'edited' version is exactly like the 'pro' version except it only requires 8-brass. 5-4-4-3.

Bill Holman, well known for his solo features, originally arranged this iconic tenor saxophone feature, 'Out of Nowhere,' for Bill Perkins and the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the mid '50s. Set as an up-tempo swing, the tenor saxophone is featured throughout and has lots of solo space to make this tune its own. Combine that with a cookin' rhythm section and great swinging ensemble passages, this chart is really happening! This new Finale edition provides cleaner, more correct parts and is easier to read with better page turns. This 'pro' version is the original chart requiring 10-brass. Brass ranges are reasonable in both versions (highest note for trumpet is a written D). 5-5-5-3.

Dramatic and flashy from beginning to end, this chart is guaranteed to be a band and audience favorite alike! 5-4-4-4.
