**Work in Progress Gordon Goodwin - If you want to play original Gordon Goodwin charts but find them are too challenging, check this out! Composed and arranged by Gordon Goodwin specifically at a more accessible level, this medium tempo swing chart is outstanding! The lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff and there's an open solo section with written solos provided for E-flat, B-flat instruments and trombone. It's the Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band sound, but accessible for your band!-NEED TO ORDER SCORE
**Dark Side Of The Blues-Classen-COOL NEED TO ORDER SCORE
In A Mellow Tone^-Basie style Frank Foster
*Bernie's Tune-Victor Goines
Blue Note Special (Mike Tomaro Gr 2)-Reminiscent of the blues-oriented music of the hard bop era, the strong melody and groove are cornerstones of this brilliant original. As the piece alternates between swing and shuffle styles, every member of the band is given interesting parts to play. Trombone and tenor take separate solos midway through, then near the end trade fours, then twos, then solo together. Written lines are provided for aspiring jazz soloists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7TcAm9risQhttps://www.bandmusicdirect.com/product/previewPack.do?itemId=1000289805&refer=search&keywords=mike%20tomaro
**Hot House Tadd Dameron/Arr. Richards -Here is a hot chart by Eric Richards. It's a swing/funk groove on a great bebop jazz tune loaded with energy. The lead is played by alto, tenor and trumpet with some great lines. The lead trumpet range is up to written high D (optional F-sharp), there's a nice soli for saxes and the lead sax is soprano sax with an optional alto part included-NEED TO ORDER SCORE
**Old Devil Moon Burton Lane/arr. Dave Wolpe - great jazz standard arranged by the king of swing charts, Dave Wolpe! This swinger features a written trumpet solo, a few sax section solis, and a lead trumpet part that goes to written B above the staff. Also included are optional parts for flute, horn, baritone horn and tuba. NEED TO ORDER SCORE
**Tickletoe Lester Young/Arr. Wolpe - Lester Young was legendary for his long, clean, melodic lines, and master arranger Dave Wolpe has taken one of the best and made it a swingin' sax section feature. There are wonderful sax solis, a tenor solo and a fantastic shout chorus. The solid writing makes the inner parts as much fun to play as the upper and lower parts in this great chart.
Now's The Time-Niehaus-has written Tpt solohttps://www.jwpepper.com/sheet-music/media-player.jsp?&type=audio&productID=2198232
Unit 7-Yasinitsky-has WRITTEN alto solo - Here's a fresh treatment of this great jazz tune. The format is a swing feel with a Latin bridge, just like the original Cannonball Adderley version, but in the development section, it features the horns alone without the rhythm section including solis for the saxophone and trumpet sections and passages featuring all the horns...very clever! A written or improvised alto solo is provided with backgrounds.https://www.jwpepper.com/sheet-music/media-player.jsp?&type=audio&productID=10277787
Rule The Roost^-Berg-Tower of Power style
When Sunny Gets Blue - Nowak - Written in a slow swing bluesy style, this is a great standard for vocalists. The accompaniment writing is skillfully done, plus there is a section where the band gets a chance to open up on its own.https://www.jwpepper.com/sheet-music/media-player.jsp?&type=audio&productID=2406338
Now's The Time^-Charlie Parker arr Gray-solo on F blues
***You Win Some, You Blues Some Lars Halle -a solidly scored, blues/swing original that sounds challenging but rehearses easily. This medium tempo chart has a relaxed feel and grabs the listener's attention right off the top with a great sax soli. The solos are for alto sax, trumpet and trombone. If you're looking for a dynamite, straight ahead swing chart.
***Frankly Speaking-Lopez-jazz funk-very playable
***Skylark Hoagy Carmichael/arr. Dave Wolpe -You won't find a better ballad feature for your tenor sax soloist! The ensemble writing is wonderful, too. Dave Wolpe has created an arrangement that truly does justice to this extraordinarily beautiful Hoagy Carmichael tune.
***Saint Louis Blues W. C. Handy/arr. John Denton-This chart proves that great tunes never die! W. C. Handy wrote this classic blues tune in 1914, and it remains a powerhouse of the jazz repertoire even today. Artists like Glenn Miller and Herbie Hancock have kept it in the forefront for audiences, and now your band can enjoy its innate charm and style.
***Li'l James-Gene Thorne-laid back Basie style-DONE? love this one
Chicken Scratch- Kris Berg-Developing bands will eat this up! In fact, that's what they've been doing with every chart in Kris Berg's series of Chicken hits! Chicken Scratch is a ferocious "Tower of Power" style chart that's incredibly hot! Solos written or ad lib are for second trumpet and second trombone, and the lead trumpet goes up only to a written A. This chart is a showstopper! If your band has the energy, they can handle it!
