This slow down and dirty 12/8 blues has it all! Lines drenched in triplets, trumpets with plunger mutes, a stop time section with wailing saxophones, more diminished chords per square inch than regular blues…who could ask for anything more?

Commissioned by the New York University Jazz Ensemble, this medium uptempo foray with abstract overtones features solos by tenor and piano. The opening unison brass soli, joined by saxophone counterpoint, leads to an energetic exchange between the sections, followed by the tenor sax solo over contemporary harmonies. After exciting exchanges between soloist and ensemble, the band takes over with an intense interlude leading to a piano solo over more traditional changes. The final shout chorus brings the band to its peak, leading to a final vamp that slowly builds to a powerful finish. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 9:15.

Here is a great way to introduce the Brazilian bossa nova to even your youngest players. Lots of tutti ensemble rhythms with limited syncopation and well-crafted rhythm section parts will help you get this piece performance ready quickly. There is an eight-measure solo written for any saxophone, but since the changes only require soloists to know one pentatonic scale, you might want to feature some other players as well. The music in this series may be performed with one alto saxophone, one tenor saxophone (optional alto 2), one trumpet, one trombone, piano, bass and drums. Each set includes parts for 2 alto saxophones, 2 alto sax 2 (optional substitute for tenor saxophone), 2 tenor saxophones, 1 baritone saxophone, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 1 horn, guitar, piano, bass and drums. Each piece also comes with a CD featuring a full recording and a practice track for your soloists.

Commissioned for the Cardinal Vaughn Memorial School Jazz Band in London, England, this swing shuffle original for proficient bands will energize players and audiences.

Afterward there is a great stop-time sax soli with trumpet lead that yields to another solo section with changes cued in the saxophone parts. An exciting shout chorus follows, ending with an open drum solo before the final chord. Rhythm section parts partially notated with chords cued. Duration 5:15. Available in SmartMusic.
