Oye Como Va

Alfred Music Publishing

You can't go wrong with this one! It's a famous tune by one of the most memorable figures in jazz, Thomas "Fats" Waller, and it's well within the capabilities of younger bands.

Ain't Misbehavin'

Alfred Publishing Belwin Division

Chuck Mangione's hit Land of Make-Believe is now available for younger players! Opening with the melody doubled by alto sax and trumpet in a dramatic, slow tempo, the chart then breaks into the familiar melody, style and tempo. Plus, there's a drum solo instead of the improvised trumpet solo making it even more accessible for young players. The ranges are very easy and the rhythms are slightly tricky but will lock in with repetition. A superb chart that will really come together and be a huge success!

Land of Make Believe

Jalen Publishing

Ray Charles. Need we say more? Ranked tenth on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, this soulful anthem mixes rhumba, rhythm and blues styles for a chart your audience and your students will really enjoy. Saxes, trumpet and trombone sections all get a taste of the melody mixed in with fun horn riffs. The solo section features a written alto sax solo or improvised solos for tenor sax, trumpet or trombone. Next, the chart goes into a call and response chorus everyone will recognize before igniting into a big finish with a recap of the main theme. Sparkling, authentic and highly recommended!

Still one of the funkiest tunes ever written, here is one of Earth, Wind Fire's biggest hits in a version for younger jazz bands that expertly captures the infectious groove of the original. You simply can't go wrong with this one!

This one's a must! Glenn Miller's big band classic is one of the best known tunes from the swing era, and Mike's excellent arrangement puts it within reach of young bands. Comfortable ranges, easy rhythm patterns and written solos make this a perfect choice to teach your students how to swing!

In the Mood

Composed for the Japanese anime television series Cowboy Bebop, this tune has taken on a life of its own. John Wasson's driving Latin funk version was written for his Strata Big Band and recorded on the album Chronicles. It features the quirky melody, sizzling brass punches, solo space for alto sax, and shows off every section of the band. A real screamer!

Tank!

This brilliant arrangement of the signature hit from the iconic boy band NSYNC is the perfect change of pace for your next concert. The rhythm section lays down the irresistible dance groove while the melody is perfectly scored for all of the sections, kicking off with a trombone solo and including a brief feature for the trumpet on the bridge. Lead trumpet plays A, lead trombone plays F-sharp.

Bye Bye Bye

Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable swing tune of all time! This incredible transcription is as close as you're going to come to the original (which included clarinet and less than a full compliment of brass). This chart is scored for a standard 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and rhythm, but aside from that, it is the original as played by Benny Goodman. Every lick is there, including all the Gene Krupa drum breaks! This chart is a must for every big band's library!

Sing, Sing, Sing

This hard-grooving arrangement of the hit song from the smash Netflix movie is perfectly scored for beginning jazz ensembles and will be the hit of your next concert program.
