This catchy funk tune was recorded by Was (Not Was) in 1987, but more recently popularized in pop culture including the movies "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," "The Flintstones," and "Super Mario Bros." This funky version shows why some tunes just never go out of style. Included is a suggested solo for tenor sax and the signature chant "boom, boom, ack-a lack-a lack-a boom." Pure fun!

Although originally recorded by Eddie Floyd in 1966, Knock on Wood has remained popular thanks to covers by artists such as Otis Redding, David Bowie, and Eric Clapton.

Highly recommended!

The solo is written and chord changes are provided for improvisation as desired. Moderate ranges and technical demands will allow for focus on the style and feel of this marvelous chart!

Charade

This is a classic rock tune from the 1980s, and everyone in the audience will remember it. Fun to play for young ensembles, it's scored for full jazz ensemble, but will sound great with as few as 4 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, piano, bass and drums. Rock the house with this powerful arrangement!

Final Countdown

Feature either trumpet or flugel on this creative arrangement of a timeless standard. Written in ballad style, there's some nice ensemble scoring and a brief, easy section in 3/4. Definitely a top choice for younger bands!

My Funny Valentine

Originally released by the Electric Light Orchestra in 1978, this rock hit has been thrust back into the limelight thanks to its inclusion on numerous movie soundtracks, notably the opening sequence of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2." A great-sounding chart playable by developing ensembles!

Mr. Blue Sky

Composed for the Japanese anime television series Cowboy Bebop, this tune has taken on a life of its own.
