Andy has become one of our best selling writers and this impressive chart proves why. Here’s a delightful tune that could have come straight out of the Count Basie library, except for the fact that it was composed to match student levels. The four bar hi-hat solo leads to a strong ensemble intro. A unison tenor sax/ trombone section soli theme follows until the bridge section shows us the sax section for four bars then the full ensemble which leads to the last sax/trombone theme. Written or ad lib solos follow then it’s a classic Basie style shout chorus with four measure drum solo fills. A great style-teaching-tool, and a perfect opener for any festival or concert performance. Optional high/low Trumpet parts are provided on this publication.

Imagine Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers sitting in with Tito Puente's big band, and you've got Blue Mambo! While the rhythmic feel of the tune is absolutely Latin, the primary melody is a 24-bar long-form minor blues. The range of orchestration, from a jazz combo statement of the melody to full ensemble writing, will make it easy for your band to get in the groove of this tune. The accessible solo section has plenty of room, with optional solos for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, and Guitar. This chart is an impressive opener for any concert or festival performance. Highest trumpet note: B.
