This tasteful solo ballad is a beautiful way to feature Alto Sax or Trumpet. There are no range or rhythm problems for either band or soloist; just a pretty melody over lush chords and counter-lines, with lots of dynamic contrasts. A lovely piece playable with limited instrumentation. Simple can be a good thing, and this ballad is simply great!

With cool licks, your students are sure to get into this tune. El Gato is a great introduction to the Latin style. The chart draws inspiration from the cha-cha where the rhythms are very idiomatic of the style. The rhythms are repeated often to allow students to fully assimilate them.

The Cat's Meow is straight-ahead swinger in the same vein as Benny Golson's classic Killer Joe. The melody is a very simple riff that repeats at different levels over the course of the form. The cat who inspired the tune is a furry exotic Persian named Berlioz who took up residence in the composer's house. Like most cats, his life consists mainly of eating and sleeping. He most often resides at the top of the stairs, and never bothers to try to get out of the way.

Commissioned by Cannonball Musical Instruments, this American Brazilian samba is perfect for advancing groups.

The 1st Alto part doubles on soprano sax, however an optional 1st Alto only part is provided. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 6:10.

Kjos is proud to add the talented writing of trumpet player Jamey Simmons to our catalogue. As suggested by its title, this tune is based entirely around the Lydian sound, and will give your students ample time to explore this wonderful sonority in the context of a superbly written chart. Solo opportunities are provided for alto sax and trombone, but you can use this tune to discuss with your entire ensemble the possibilities of soloing over a Lydian chord progression.

Still one of the funkiest tunes ever written, here is Earth, Wind and Fire's “September” in a version for younger bands. Paul Murtha expertly captures the infectious groove of the original. You simply can't go wrong with this one!

The main portion of this chart is slow swing similar to Slide Hampton's Frame for the Blues, but it is interspersed with vignettes that use all the colors of the contemporary jazz ensemble. Cascading bell-tones and a lush written Trumpet solo start the tune off which leads to the first slow swing section. A great choice for a contrast chart at a festival!
