An infectious groove makes this one hard to stop. Most of the chart is in a funky rock style, but the solos shift to a traditional swinging blues. Great for players and audiences alike. A part of the Jazz in Concert Series, Bean's Bag is flexibly orchestrated so that it can be played with as few as 9 players. Additionally, everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section, and the set includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate successful improvisation. Full Score.

This tune has a comfortable tempo, easy ranges, well-balanced ensemble chorus and a very handsome harmonic structure. All parts are interesting and contribute to the whole picture. Trumpet, alto sax and piano have written solos, and the bass part is completely written out. In maintaining a jazz feel, eighth notes should not be played strictly, but must have a lazy feel (when playing two in succession, the second one is delayed). Although dynamics, tempo and sound are important, the feel of the jazz idiom is the top priority. Much care has been taken in the construction of this arrangement to meet this goal.

I Saw Three Ships is not only an absolute perfect chart for your December concerts, but it’s so much fun to play that you should program it anytime! This 17th century English carol takes on a whole new life reset in a New Orleans second-line style groove. There’s plenty of ensemble work for each section and solo space in the middle for your lead alto and lead trombone. Don’t miss a chance to jam out on this one! Great fun!
