Every concert or festival program needs a great ballad that features a talented member of the band. This delightful piece features alto saxophone, and is written so that the melody is situated in the most comfortable and resonant range of the instrument. The ensemble accompaniment is robust, though very accessible, and the band alternates between swing and straight eighth-notes, something that's very common in more advanced jazz ballads. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 3:30. Available in SmartMusic.

This chart really fills a void in literature for this level. It is designed to be played on synth with a cool electric piano sound, but we tried it with acoustic piano and it sounds great that way too. The piano part is completely written out- Frank's idea to create a contemporary sounding piece for a classically trained piano student is right on the money! Of course, it you are blessed with the student who is comfortable with improvising, so much the better.

This tenor sax feature requires the background volume to stay comfortable under the soloist. Save the volume for measure 28, and also the big build up at measure 49 to make for an interesting ending. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued.

Written solo or soli sections are comfortably within the range and abilities of young players and will get them swingin' like pros. If rehearsal time is tight, this is an excellent choice by a writer-teacher who has been there! Everyone will agree; your band is a winner!

A light boppish blues that moves from an easy Fifties bob-head to a rousing big band shout chorus. Makes a great opener-featuring solos from the trumpet, tenor or trombone. Recorded by Mike Vax and his Southern Comfort Jazz All-Stars.

This tune has a comfortable tempo, easy ranges, well-balanced ensemble chorus and a very handsome harmonic structure. All parts are interesting and contribute to the whole picture. Trumpet, alto sax and piano have written solos, and the bass part is completely written out. In maintaining a jazz feel, eighth notes should not be played strictly, but must have a lazy feel (when playing two in succession, the second one is delayed). Although dynamics, tempo and sound are important, the feel of the jazz idiom is the top priority. Much care has been taken in the construction of this arrangement to meet this goal.

Set in an easy, modern samba feel, this chart for advancing groups is influenced by the music of Pat Metheny, Kenny Wheeler, and Maria Schneider. Smooth lines and satisfying chord voicings combine to create a gentle, yet complex conversation between sections of the jazz ensemble, and the use of cross-section writing promotes a strong sense of independence. The sophisticated and comfortable chord changes give the tenor sax and trumpet soloists a chance to stretch out and fully develop their ideas. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set, and rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 8:20. Available in SmartMusic.
