This Big‐League chart spotlights all of the sections of the jazz ensemble with high‐energy and verve. Opening with an effective piano solo/rhythm section soli, Welcome to the Majors features a driving, lite‐shuffle beat that propels the breezy melody and crisp ensembles over a set of slightly altered blues changes. A 4‐bar kick‐off leads to a tenor sax solo, and this solo section may be opened up for other players as desired. An 8 bar trombone soli leads way to the incisive and biting shout chorus that builds and builds. Fresh, spirited, and lots of fun for concert and contest alike. A real home run!

Inspi red by the music of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays, this relaxed bossa casts piano in the primary solo role, with tenor sax taking a solo chorus midway through.

Originally recorded by Tomaro on Home Again (Positive Music PMD 78019-2), the scoring requirements are standard. Rhythm section parts are notated with chords cued. Duration 4:30.
