In the style of Nestico and Basie, this medium swing chart is full of nuances. Includes solo space for all saxes, trumpet 4, and trombone 1. At 110 BPM, this is truly a wonderful chart that will satisfy any mature band, as recorded by the Big Phat Band. (4:30) / Ensemble De Jazz

Rock on! Even the youngest band can sound great on this simple yet effective rock-jazz chart. Featuring a written drum solo, ensemble handclaps, and a solo section for all wind instruments, this will make the band will sound terrific from the first note. Easy to rehearse and quick to come together, Rock the House is an outstanding choice. Optional parts for two flutes, two clarinets, horn, baritone horn, tuba, baritone sax, and guitar. A gem from Victor Lopez, this is a perfect choice for jazz beginners.

A 'Taste of Cuba' for sure. A very hot Latin chart premiered at the Midwest Band Clinic, 2015, this is a show-stopper chart for a strong band. The chart is jam-packed with lines that bounce from section to section, including a suggested written tenor sax solo with backgrounds. Lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff with an optional high D. Two auxiliary percussion parts that really make this chart come alive plus optional flute and vibraphone too.

Par DAVIS MILES. Arranged here in a medium swing style, this tune is a great way to introduce the music of Miles Davis to young players. The modal style makes soloing easier and a perfect opportunity to get everyone involved. / Date parution : 2023-01-24/ Répertoire / Jazz Ensemble

Nat King Cole's classic recording from 1951 and then the 'duet' version recorded by his daughter Natalie in 1991 helped to make this tune truly 'unforgettable.' This well-paced version for vocal soloist stays true to the original style and includes a brief instrumental interlude for the band.

Not to be confused with the same titled piece from the Nutcracker Suite, this tenor sax feature from Duke's later years has an open almost 'world music' groove that transitions to straight ahead swing. Contrasting traditional harmonic sections with vamp like textures, odd phrase lengths and his usual colorful orchestration, makes this one of Duke's great compositions. / Ensemble De Jazz
