Heavy metal big band! Guitar is the featured solo instrument in this very cool chart so if you, the band, and your drummer dig a rock vehicle to wake everyone up---'Steampunk' by Erik Morales is it. Lead trumpet range only to written G on top of the staff. A suggested written guitar solo is provided if needed. Totally exciting and a great tune for guitar and big band! (5:43) / Ensemble De Jazz

Par ARLEN HAROLD. This well-known standard from the 1940s never sounded quite like this! Featuring a slow, simmering shuffle funk style, the rhythm section lays down the groove with the trombone section playing the tune. Solo space is provided for tenor sax and trumpet before the roar of the full ensemble is unleashed in a double-time swing shout chorus. This chart is a powerhouse! / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Jazz Ensemble

A great title and great chart. A samba groove in cut time around 90 BPM, accessible for a solid grade 2 level. Written solos for trombone 1 and tenor sax 1, and trumpet 1 range goes to written A above the staff with optional lower notes. This chart is fun to play and loaded with energy!

Composer/arranger Carl Strommen has proven he has the right stuff to write for younger bands. This light and easy Latin original starts simply and builds. As it builds, you may recognize the chord progression to the classic pop tune, Sunny. The cowbell helps maintain the energy and drive for this chart, the solos for alto sax and trumpet are written or ad-lib, and the brass ranges are modest. Additional percussion parts can be added if desired. The lower instruments have an easy yet meaty part in this chart. The bottom line is a quality chart that's fun to play, educational and well received by the audience. This title is available through SmartMusic. (3:50)
