Composed by Jr. Vuono. Jazz Ensemble. Score and set of parts. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4789-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4789-00).

This playful medium-tempo swinger features a smooth, self-assured melody that glides along a cool, slightly altered blues progression. Trumpet and alto sax carry the melody at first before passing it off to the brass section; saxophones cleverly punctuate the brass section with heavily accented chords. The saxophones take the melody the third time around, while the brass offers incisive interjections here and there. A solo section follows that features just the right amount of background writing that enhances the proceedings without ever getting in the way; the solo section may be repeated as desired to feature additional soloists. A swinging ensemble follows the solos, starting off at a simmer and gradually heating up to the exciting full-ensemble shout chorus. Don’t Let These Blues Fool You is sure to be a favorite for concert and contest!

Time to dial back the metronome a bit with this relaxed slow swing with a dreamy disposition. This brilliant chart is the perfect showcase for the entire ensemble, and includes a brief piano introduction, velvety bucket‐muted brass, and a very pretty solo spot for your lead alto saxophone. A gradual crescendo after the alto solo leads to a four bar shout before returning to the volume and tone set at the beginning. Colorful textures and voicings abound, and the optional flute part will add an extra glow of color, but the chart plays just a beautifully without. A superb change of pace for concert or contest!

Jazz music doesn't always have to be higher, faster, & louder – and this chart is proof that you can generate plenty of excitement by laying-back. It's great for teaching your band how to keep a slower tempo without rushing, and the open solo section on Bb blues changes is perfect for building confidence in young improvisers. The background parts sound so full you can play them without the solos if you desire and it will still sound great. A definite winner!
