This happy, joyous medium-tempo gospel swing with a truly sunny disposition takes the listener in immediately and just does not let go! An animated full-ensemble introduction leads the way to the sun-beamy, chirrupy melody, at first presented by trumpet and alto over a stop-time rhythm section. The entire sax section takes the melody next, while the brass offer uplifting commentary by way of stop-time chords. Plunger-muted trumpet is featured at the solo section, with inspiring backgrounds from the ensemble; this section may be repeated as desired to feature additional solos. Some deft linear writing follows the solo section, providing exciting dialog throughout the ensemble before leading up to an intriguing and effective pyramid that leaps forward into the stirring shout chorus. A clever tag alights on the ending plagal cadence, offering a place for the plunger-muted Trumpet to shine above the final chord. Gather ‘Round is sure to bring a smile, and destined to be a mainstay!

Origi nally written for and played by Bud Shank, this showpiece for alto sax features a wide dynamic range and calls for a soft, smooth approach to background figures. Though written solo lines are provided throughout, the main solo chorus includes chord changes for players with improvisation chops.

Recorded by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band on the album March Of The Tadpoles, the score notes for this beautiful work explain two major performance options. First, the introduction may be replaced by a freely-improvised piano solo (as originally recorded on the album); this makes all sax doubles unnecessary. Second, the main solo feature for tenor sax may also be played by alto; extra substitute parts are provided. Duration 5:20.

UPC: 822795028102.

Recor ded by Buddy Rich on his Roar Of '74 album, the success of this bright Latin/swing classic by Horace Silver depends heavily on the ability of the rhythm section to play the ostinato with confidence, precision and momentum. While the main solo work here goes to tenor and trumpet, the drummer punctuates the shout chorus with a series of short solos, then gets a wide-open chance to solo just before the final band chord. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 3:30.

A driving rock groove, solid melody and zesty Latin overtones make this original a winner. The main solo section may be opened up as desired (written solos provided for all instruments), and at the coda the drummer kicks things up several notches by trading solos with the band. Plenty of ensemble writing throughout inspires confidence in young players.

This grooving shuffle starts with a bang and keeps on building! Tenor Saxes and Trombone 1 and 2 present the catchy melody with the rest of the band joining in. The half time feel of the bridge is a great contrast to the main shuffle groove. You'll love the ensemble writing and the clever counterlines that weave together.
