A super solid up tempo swinger with a contemporary sound by Lennie Niehaus that is a wonderful choice for more mature jazz ensembles. Solos for either Alto or Trumpet plus a great shout chorus and lots of wonderful soli writing by a real master arranger make this a superior chart. Can’t be Beat!!

One Cool Cat! features a playful melody sauntering along a beguiling chord progression in this enjoyable chart by Rob Vuono, Jr. The intro leads way to the cool sounds of trumpet and alto sax on melody, with tenor saxes and trombones later joining in on a counter melody. Much dialog and interplay between sections of the band is featured, and the piano gets to shine with oh-so-hip fills that are sure to bring a smile (all piano fills are fully notated with chord changes to ensure success). A solo section follows (any instrument may be featured here; suggested solos are provided), with swinging backgrounds adding some punch here and there. An impressive ensemble ensues after the solo section, leading to a brilliant shout chorus before alighting on the most purr-fect coda with grace and aplomb. One cool chart you just can’t miss!

This chart was written when Thad lived in Denmark and was named after jazz organist Rhoda Scott. This writing is typical Thad that was a favorite of the Mel Lewis Orchestra and it is still played by the Village Vanguard Orchestra. This medium tempo AABA composition displays the classic Thad Jones harmonic and melodic approach to writing for a big band. Not as well known as Don’t Get Sassy or Tip Toe as it was first recorded in Denmark and then again with the Mel Lewis Orch on the The Definitive Thad Jones CD’s recorded in the US in 1988, but it is a great one. Written solos. Written ranges: Trp. 1 (A), Trb. (G) , Alto (D).

Young jazz bands will have lots of fun developing their swing chops with this creative and very easy chart! Trumpets get a chance to use the wa-wa effect, piano gets to show off with short written fills, and the drummer has a short (or extended) solo spot. The open solo section (written solos included) allows the soloist(s) to trade-off with the band background parts, so they don't have to solo for the full 12 bars. Paper Jam is effective, easy, fun - and highly recommended!
