Work some practice with chromatic lines into your ensemble's book with this relaxed rock chart. The two-chord changes in the solo section make for a more carefree soloing experience. A call and response chorus between the brass and saxes finish this chart off on a high point. Very cool!

Check out this tasty setting of an old standard. It features an alto solo on the intro, then settles into a nice bossa groove. The solo section is double time for an added kick, with the bones playing the familiar melody in the background. Great writing!

This classic Clarence Williams composition was written at the very beginning of the Jazz Age and speaks in the Count Basie language. An 8 measure written piano solo feeds into a quiet full ensemble melody with brass in bucket mutes. (Open in stand will do) Well placed unisons and ensemble writing leads to a 16 bar tenor sax solo (suggested written solo is provided) then builds to a final full ensemble shout chorus a minor third higher. Includes an optional flute part. The unique surprise ending will treat the audience and band to a few happy moments. Hint: (Opt. one bar vocal ending).

Totally hip! This dynamic arrangement of a classic ballad from the big band era is done in a laid back slow swing style reminiscent of the 60's Basie band. A very tasty piano solo introduction is written out and the whole band gets into the action on this quality chart. A perfect choice for any concert or festival performance! Very highly recommended!

This freewheeling chart was written for the Penfield Commission Project in New York. The cool, understated first chorus sets the stage for a swinging ensemble section that melts into the 3/4 development section. The rhythm section and Trumpet soloist set up a half-time shuffle before the ensemble shout chorus.

This is a swinging excursion in C minor that the whole band will love. An interesting development section follows the main statement of the melody that builds into a great send-off for the solo section. Effective background figures are provided to accompany the soloists. (Chord changes are cued on all parts along with written solos.).

A medium tempo swing chart with a playful sound a la the Count Basie style. Features a combo of tenor sax, trumpet and trombone before the whole band gets into the action with some very tasty ensemble writing. Includes an open solo section for the soloists of your choice. Ranges aren’t extreme (trumpet to written Bb and trombone to G above the staff) but the big solid sound is sure to impress. Outstanding concert or festival chart.
