This Big‐League chart spotlights all of the sections of the jazz ensemble with high‐energy and verve. Opening with an effective piano solo/rhythm section soli, Welcome to the Majors features a driving, lite‐shuffle beat that propels the breezy melody and crisp ensembles over a set of slightly altered blues changes. A 4‐bar kick‐off leads to a tenor sax solo, and this solo section may be opened up for other players as desired. An 8 bar trombone soli leads way to the incisive and biting shout chorus that builds and builds. Fresh, spirited, and lots of fun for concert and contest alike. A real home run!

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.

A follow-up to his successful Steppin' Up To The Blues, this new blues in F is as easy as it gets, but it sounds great and kids love it! Each chorus of blues adds a new idea in the winds and in the rhythm section based on the previous chorus, so the chart will come together quickly. In the solo section, the background figures are based on guide tones (thirds and sevenths) so the band will be able to really hear the blues progression and build easy solos using just a few notes.

Topaz Sky requires no improvisation, but there are written out, eight-measure solos for both Trumpet and piano. This chart provides a multitude of ways to teach your band how dynamic peaks and valleys really can make music come alive.

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.
