Wilson Pickett for your jazz ensemble? Absolutely! Victor López does it best by taking a classic rock song and adapting it for the young jazz ensemble player. What a solid groove tempo for the band---they'll really dig into this chart, and you'll need only minimum prep time for a great performance. No individual solos---just ensemble throughout---reasonable ranges, and a really fun bass part. With the addition of the flexible instrumentation and the optional parts, IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR just about plays itself!

Just about everyone has heard the melody to Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho, right? Arranger Mike Lewis took this traditional melody and scored it for the young band. With a rubato sax and piano intro, Mike moves his chart right into an easy swing feel. There are no individual improvised solos, just ensemble with some section work, with some nice parts for the trombones. Optional parts are included but this chart will sound full with reduced instrumentation. Easy ranges, accessible rhythms and the rubato ending can be as dramatic as you like. A very nice chart. (3:53).

A swinging, happy toe-tapper in the Basie tradition that just won't quit; this is a great concert or contest selection for mid-level bands. The (written) piano solo starts things out, followed by one (or all) of the saxes introducing the melody. Then the brass join in and the full ensemble plays up to a basic 12 bar blues solo section for any instrument. The ensemble sections, solis and dynamics that follow provide lots of contrast and excitement. There's even more than one shout chorus. Just when you think it's over, it keeps on goin'. A guaranteed winner!
