You guessed it, this chart is an up-tempo swinger! Les Hooper's arrangement will keep everyone moving forward with this original based on Rhythm chord changes. Solo spaces for tenor and alto plus an open solo section for all players and a hot shout chorus. Got to have this one! Highly recommended!

From bebop master, Dizzy Gillespie, comes this lively tune in a great chart for younger players by Mark Taylor. It opens with a trumpet and an alto sax on the head followed by a quintet of 3 saxes and 2 trumpets. A tutti ensemble section comes next followed by a flexible solo section for any combination of alto, tenor, trumpet or trombone. The brass ranges are reasonable and most rhythms are tutti. Let the maturity of your group determine how fast (or slow) you play this one! Bebop for young players at its best!

You're not going to believe this arrangement!

This is simply a piece that all students should be familiar with!

Here's a great vehicle for teaching younger players to improvise on blues changes.

Wow! This is a show-stopping contemporary chart arranged by Alan Baylock on this classic. The groove moves logically between an up-tempo swing, a Maiden Voyage feel, a double-time swing and a 12/8 Afro/Cuban feel. The features include plenty of solo space for tenor sax, brief written melody lines for various instruments, and lots of moving lines and sax solis. The lead trumpet range is to a D above the staff. Nothing short of spectacular, this is a great festival or competition chart! Highly recommended!
