This playful medium-tempo swinger features a smooth, self-assured melody that glides along a cool, slightly altered blues progression.

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!

This is a great contest/concert selection for band's at this grade level. Once the notes get under the fingers it swings hard and shows off the whole band. The ranges and rhythms are very reasonable, but the excitement generated is off the charts! The intro is a piano vamp, followed by the saxes playing the melody in unison. The trumpets then join the altos, while the bones and tenors play some background punches. The bones and saxes trade off playing the bridge, and then full ensemble plays up to the open solo section. Following the solos, everything quiets way down and the gradual buildup to a real flag-waver of an ending begins.

Strut your stuff with the excitement of a New Orleans style second line street march. Everybody gets to play the melody! Backgrounds for the solo sections are strong on their own, so the chart can be performed without soloists if needed, or open it up for more fun! There’s space for the drummer and bass player to shine, too. Playable with reduced instrumentation, and includes optional parts for clarinet soloist and tuba bass line. Both the band and audience will love it, and go out whistling the tune!

Recorded by The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra on the album Thad Jones Legacy, this blazing chart, meant to be played as fast as possible, opens with a repeating vamp featuring horn players on Latin percussion instruments. Then excitement builds as horns enter a few at a time until the whole ensemble reaches the first tutti chorus.

The spotlight is on the whole band with this hard-driving rock chart! Lots of great ensemble and soli writing. The key changes (using accidentals) keep lifting the excitement level all the way to the end. While the performance demands are minimal (no solos. trumpets never leave the staff) your band will love the powerful, full sound they create with this chart.

Our newest writer on our writing staff has composed an exciting Mambo based on minor blues changes. Beginning with a cappella unison horns, this theme continues for 2 more choruses before the solos start. Following the G minor blues solo section is an interesting semi-stop chorus which leads to an open drum/percussion soli section.
