The jaunty traditional melody (Here We Come A-Caroling) appears briefly in its original 6/8 time, before we're off on full-ensemble, straight-ahead swing. A brief sax soli and some short drum set interjections take the role of soloist. Nothing but holiday cheer from end-to-end. Top trumpet note: G 5.

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.

Trombones come to the fore in this dynamic section feature. Taking charge immediately, they lead us to an open section giving the soloists of your choice a chance to shine. From there, a unique walking bass line plus trombone ensemble builds to a roaring shout chorus and farewell statements from the trombones. Playable with reduced instrumentation, this is your next winning concert and contest number! Bone-tastic!

A sweet, melodic, light bossa nova - with a bite! Melbourne Walk-Up was inspired by the composer's visit to Melbourne, Australia, where, in the absence of an elevator in his hotel, he had to trek up the stairs with all of his luggage. Sorenson says: I composed this melody the following day, as I rested my sore back. Flexible orchestration allows it to be played by as few as 9 players. Additionally, everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section, and the set includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate successful improvisation.

Kendor is happy to welcome new composer Andrew Lesick to the catalog. The Gumshoe is a medium bright swing that features a written Piano solo off the top. Everyone gets a turn at the melody as the chart develops and there is some fun interplay between the Saxes and Brass after the solo section.
