Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.882906 Composed by Caleb Murray. Arranged by Caleb Murray. Contemporary. Score and parts. 79 pages. Caleb Murray #5306381. Published by Caleb Murray (A0.882906). This tune is an energetic Bossa Nova featuring Tenor Sax, Bari Sax, Trumpet, and Trombone. This piece was commissioned by Ralston Middle School, but with their permission, I also wanted to open source it for anyone else who wanted to play the tune. The bass line is a suggested one (it's a simple Bossa Nova line), but the other parts are just with slashes. Great for a middle school band looking to add more of a Latin sound to their set.

R & B,Soul. Score and parts. 32 pages. Caleb Murray #3057271. Published by Caleb Murray (A0.882900). I created this version for Valerie as a commission for a singer while I was working for Royal Caribbean. It was written for a ship band, which is 2 trumpets, trombone, alto sax, tenor sax, guitar, piano, bass, drums, and (most importantly) a singer. Most of the music was transcribed directly from the recording from Amy Winehouse, but I added a few extra frills in the horn lines that keep it sounding fresh.

Smooth Operator

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.955738 By Sarah Vaughan. By Clyde Otis and Murray Stein. Arranged by Phil Thrift. Jazz. Score and Parts. 48 pages. Phil Thrift #6062351. Published by Phil Thrift (A0.955738). When my friend Werner told me to listen to Smooth Operator, I thought he meant the well-known mid-80s smooth jazz number by the British band Sade. Instead, I got a surprise. This Smooth Operator was totally different, totally unknown to me, and provoked me to find out about Dorothy Dandridge and her life. I encourage you to do so too.The album Smooth Operator was released in 1999. However, Dorothy Dandridge had recorded this song nearly 40 years earlier, in February 1961, with – according to the sleeve notes from Verve Records – an unknown orchestra and unknown producer. The arranger of the band charts is also not credited. It seems there was just one take, because when Ms. Dandridge enters at the pickup to measure 5, it takes the rhythm section a few beats to fall into line with her; one trumpet also enters too early in measure 74! Notwithstanding, this is an amazing, very cool number, and if your female vocalist feels up to the challenge of these cheeky, risqué lyrics, then these easy charts will enable your big band to recreate the piece.Although the style is dated and recalls a bygone era, I feel this song is a good way to remember this brilliant actress, singer, and dancer who died so young, and draw attention to the injustices she suffered and which are still with us today. The tagline to the film of her life starring Halle Berry sums up her life: Right woman. Right place. Wrong time.
