SKU: KN.52580S

Composed by Charlie Parker. Arranged by John LaBarbera. Kendor Archive Editions. Kendor Music Inc #52580S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.52580S).

Originally written in 1946 by Charlie Parker soon after his longtime friend and musical companion Dizzy Gillespie left him in Los Angeles to return to New York City, this uptempo setting for big band in the original key of Bb features the I Got Rhythm changes on which Parker's tune is based. A wide-open solo for lead alto, shorter solo segments for 3 trombones, and an 8-bar unaccompanied solo for the drummer allows ample stretching room for proficient players. Duration 3:45.

Doug Doug Beach has given us many great Latin charts over the years, and this one is no exception. Fashioned after the music of Horace Silver, this driving Latin tune features a wonderful combination of melodic and rhythmic ideas. An expandable solo section (written or ad lib solo sheets for all are included) and a full-band shout rounds this chart out beautifully. Rhythm section parts partially notated. Duration 4:15. Available in SmartMusic.

This swinging, easy to play chart sounds great and offers many teaching opportunities. Following the first 24 bars which are in unison, there’s a call and response section using just the notes from the Bb blues scale. This provides young players with notes that will work while improvising over blues changes in the open solo section, giving them an I can do this! sense of confidence. After the solos, the unison saxes enter softly, and crescendo to a roaring shout chorus when the brass joins in. Your young band will love it!

This is not an encyclopedia, but an unusual juxta position of two styles of music. The fanfare is an exciting straight-ahead bit of writing which works its way through contrapuntal and polytonal paths and somehow finds itself in the middle of a funk version of itself. After some solos and a drum solo transition the music completes the symmetric circle and ends as it started. A great opener!

Your rhythm section will shine in this new Funk chart. There is a fun breakdown section after the solos where the sections of the band are layered in a clever way to create a giant build to the shout chorus. Get down and get funky!
