Tropica l Sunrise is a laid-back bossa-nova tune. With a relaxed and unhurried feel, students will learn to pay close attention to dynamic contrasts, especially on the soft side. The capital of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, is known for parties and festivals but it has a quieter side as well. This piece reflects that softer edge.

Let It Groove is all about the pocket! The feeling of the chart is reminiscent of Herbie Hancock's Watermelon Man or Lee Morgan's Sidewinder. The bass line is anchored to the bass drum pattern, and the enclosed rhythm exercises are an excellent tool for creating a cohesive rhythmic concept throughout the band. The solo section is a 12 bar Bb blues and can be opened up to include several soloists.

The Cat's Meow is straight-ahead swinger in the same vein as Benny Golson's classic Killer Joe. The melody is a very simple riff that repeats at different levels over the course of the form. The cat who inspired the tune is a furry exotic Persian named Berlioz who took up residence in the composer's house. Like most cats, his life consists mainly of eating and sleeping. He most often resides at the top of the stairs, and never bothers to try to get out of the way.

SKU: KN.64065

Composed by Thad Jones. Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Signature Edition. Fast Swing. Score and Parts. Kendor Music Inc #64065. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.64065).

UPC: 822795640656. 9 x 12 inches.

Our 4th offering in the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Signature Editions, is Once Around. This fast swing advanced level chart was among the first charts Thad Jones wrote for the new band in 1966, as a more modern contrast to the Basie-oriented arrangements that were in the band's early repertoire. Early 1960's forays into more open, modal jazz forms by Miles Davis and John Coltrane had turned the jazz world upside down in just a few years, prompting many artists to expand from bebop-oriented ii-V-I chord structures. This arrangement was one of Thad Jones' responses to that trend. This piece is a wide-open vehicle for improvisation. There are multiple open solo sections, each with extended improvisation opportunities. Duration 3:00.

UPC: 000308076400.

Aside from being a great piece to program, this new chart has a wealth of ways built into it to help you teach blues form and improvisation. This composition is sequenced and developed through each 12-bar chorus using the six scale steps of the Bb blues scale as the foundation. The solo section opens up for any and all wind players to use the blues scale patterns from the first five choruses as the basis for their improvisation. However, this chart is a must have for every jazz director for the rhythm section parts alone! Each of these parts is designed for the individual instrument, and they will serve as resource guides for you and your students.
