An exceptional ballad feature for alto sax or trumpet/flugelhorn that's perfect for contest or concert. The solo and rhythm section parts are completely written out. Ranges are modest (solo trpt. never leaves the staff) and the lush background parts provide lots of support for the soloist. The key change towards the end adds just the right touch to this beautiful chart.

Morning Starlight is a tasty rock ballad, and the perfect feature for your budding trumpet or alto sax star! The sensitive ensemble writing provides plenty of support for the soloist, while the fully scored sections nicely contrast the lyrical, solo theme. A sure winner for your band and audience alike, it’s just right for that change of mood in your concert.

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.

An easy but effective rock tune by Howard Rowe that is sure to please. Features a small combo within the band that consist of Alto, Tenor, Trumpet & Trombone. No Solos except for short drum fills and it’s playable with limited instrumentation. Well notated rhythm section parts will help inexperienced players get the right feel.

This refreshing straight ahead big band jazz swing chart really cooks! Contains a nice open section for the soloists of your choice and a great head that just keeps building right up to the finish! Brass ranges are quite modest for a chart with this much power. It’s a great choice for concert or contest!

Here's an effective bright swing piece scored in the popular Count Basie style that is designed to make advancing groups sound their very best. As in many Basie-style works, dynamics and articulations play a key role in any presentation. For optimum results in achieving a tight ensemble sound, the rhythm section sets the pace in the opening moments of the introduction. Since the drummer enters after 24 measures, the guitarist and bass lock tempo with the pianist, giving them the chance to learn self-reliance without the drummer policing the time and groove. The horns will fall easily into place once this feel is established. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson. Duration 3:15. Available in SmartMusic.
