This original for advancing groups definitely lives up to its name as it transitions through a variety of moods, swinging hard every step of the way. Adding to the appeal is an 11-bar chorale that's played slowly and freely, followed by a jazz waltz section. As in many of Lennie's works, this piece contains a great sax soli and a driving shout chorus. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson comes with each set. Duration ca. 6:00.

This modal chart will engage your rhythm section and is a terrific solo vehicle. Clearly marked rhythm section breaks are a key part of the melody, helping to teach this important skill to the rhythm players. Medium tempo but swings like crazy.

A wonderful, easy-to-play chart that practically swings by itself. Bands at any level will sound great playing this one. In addition to the well-crafted ensemble and soli section writing, the chord changes used in the open solo section allow any of your players to improvise by using notes just from the F concert scale.

This is a great contest/concert selection for band's at this grade level. Once the notes get under the fingers it swings hard and shows off the whole band. The ranges and rhythms are very reasonable, but the excitement generated is off the charts! The intro is a piano vamp, followed by the saxes playing the melody in unison. The trumpets then join the altos, while the bones and tenors play some background punches. The bones and saxes trade off playing the bridge, and then full ensemble plays up to the open solo section. Following the solos, everything quiets way down and the gradual buildup to a real flag-waver of an ending begins.

The plunger has a long and storied history in the jazz trombone tradition, and this piece continues that legacy. Keep The Stick is flexible enough to feature a single soloist or the entire trombone section and is a great way to introduce your trombone players to the classic sound of the plunger. The chart swings right from the get-go and the roaring shout chorus will not overwhelm the trumpet section. Stop on down to the local hardware store to get a plunger for your trombone soloist and tell the clerk to Keep the Stick!
