This laidback, down-home blues features a strong melody, great ensemble writing, and plenty of solo space. All swing 8ths should be played with a steady triplet feel, and the tempo (quarter note = 60) shouldn't be rushed, even during the final roaring choruses that take this chart out. This one is a must have for any library! Duration ca. 7:30.

Plays easy and sounds cool. That's the perfect combination found in this carefully-crafted blues tune for younger bands. The trumpets and bones take the lead, with the saxes providing interesting counter lines. Then several bars of full ensemble lead to an open solo section for any instruments over simple Blues changes, giving young players the opportunity to improvise. If they aren't quite ready for that yet, suggested solos are provided. After the solos, the bones, tenors and bari get to shine playing some fun unison licks which lead back to the whole band playing a big finish. This chart will sound great even for bands with limited experience, instrumentation, and rehearsal time. Don't Miss The Bus!

Obtaining a good blend is always difficult with an open sax voicing such as the one in measure 73it may take several attempts to achieve this. This arrangement also uses the voicing of 1st Alto Sax in prime unison with 1st Trumpet during ensemble sections. As for dynamics, remember to increase volume when ascending the scale and decrease it when descending the scale.

Extended blues form shifts from a Swing Shuffle to a Funk bridge then back again. Optional lead trumpet notes save chops but won't take the energy away from this chart.

Take a well-known holiday classic, give it to a creative arranger, and you get a hard driving rock chart that's filled with instrumental and dynamic contrasts! After an attention-getting introduction, a few bars of the melody are played quietly in 3/4. Then it's straight-ahead rock in 4/4. The open solo section for any instrument has only two chords, and the chart works fine even if the solo section is omitted. A very impressive chart at the medium-easy level. The trumpets never leave the staff. It's the perfect something different for your holiday concerts.
