A lush, rubato introduction sets up the infectious shuffle feel of this swingin' feature for baritone saxophone.  The solo is written or improvised and the arrangement features nice band licks and backgrounds, a sax soli, a tutti full band section and an improvised or notated solo section.  The key selection of Ab ensures that all lines lay well for the soloist and the ranges remain moderate for all players.  A guaranteed audience favorite, this hard-hitting chart will become a "must have" for bands with strong, sassy bari players.  Highly recommended!

The Bari Thought of You

Here's one of the most tuneful of Jobim's many familiar Latin standards in a marvelous setting featuring a baritone sax soloist. The style is a laid-back Latin groove and the arrangement includes a wealth of creative harmonic and textural devices. To round things out, it also includes a sax soli and a lush tutti ensemble chorus. A great way to feature your bari sax soloist!

Strut

Jazz Lines Publications

Now in print for the first time, this was originally written in 1987 for the Richard Stoltzman album titled Ebony, featuring the Woody Herman Big Band. Duke Ellington's Come Sunday featured Stoltsman as a clarinet soloist. John Fedchock modified it sometime later to make it a baritone saxophone solo feature and added a trombone 4 part to cover the original baritone sax part. Fedchock's chart is absolutely gorgeous, featuring lush harmonies, a few woodwind doubles, beautiful ensemble sections, and a double-time section for the ensemble. The baritone sax solo is both written and improvised and features a wonderful cadenza at the end. Highly recommended!

Come Sunday

Featuring your underexposed baritone saxophone player, Groanin' owes a lot to Bobby Timmons' Moanin' in its call-and-response melody. It's got energy with a driving, rocky groove. The band has lots to play, pumping out the intro, bridge, and plenty of backings. This is an entertaining and celebratory chart that will please band and audience alike.

Groanin'

Add some funk to your holiday program with this soulful arrangement of the Christmas spiritual Go Tell It on the Mountain.

The improvised solo section is over only one chord, and a blues scale can effectively be used most of the time. Your students will thank you for this opportunity to get on down and play this chart for Christmas and holiday performances!

Film noir atmosphere sets the scene for this easy jazz ballad, written to feature a bari sax soloist. Harmon mutes for the trumpets and cup mute for the trombones add authentic color, and a brief double‑time swing section in the middle provides contrast before returning to the moody ballad feel. The clear form and supportive scoring make it an engaging concert selection great for introducing your early players to performing with a featured soloist.

So Long...

Walrus Music Publishing

Bright boogaloo straight eighth chart. (Lusaka is the capital city of Zambia). This is feature for Alto and Baritone Saxes. The solo sections are centered around G7sus (concert) and Bb7. It can get as funky as you want. Each soloist has an open chorus and a background that can be cued or used as the second chorus. The shout chorus is a "call and response" between saxes and brass with just drums the first half. Bass enters midway through leading to a final restatement of the tune. What makes this tune pop is the articulation. The more like "Tower of Power," the better. Lead trumpet to concert high Bb (high C).

Lusaka

Bari sax feature on a smooth bossa in C. Open solo section with chords included for bari, trombone, and trumpet. A,T,B, 2 Trpts, 1 Bone, P,B,D. Trpt. 1 to high C# with optl. high E.

Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen

C L Barnhouse Company

Here's a super chart to feature the sax player who hardly ever gets the "good" parts!  Your bari sax player will love getting some air time in this gospel-rock chart!  It includes an open solo section for the bari sax, or any other soloist of your choice.  It's a very appealing tune with a big solid sound.

Bari, Bari Good!

Here's a straight-ahead, rockin' bari sax solo feature set at 156 bpm. The ensemble has a lot of exposure and the writing has a ton of style. The changes are a variation on the blues form with a little bit of mixed modes to give it just the right feel to suit the title. The solo is entirely written, with some optional sections for improvising. Your brass can bop and dance in the background with their subtle hits that set up the melody, making for an entertaining performance to win over your audiences. If you haven't had a bari sax feature for a while, then this one will be a great choice!

Bari-ed Alive!

Your budding bari sax player deserves a chance to be heard, and this is the chart to do it with! It's a gospel-blues in call and response style, with an open solo section for bari (or any other instrument) over blues changes. This exceptional chart for mid-level bands really rocks!

"Tasty" is the word for this light bossa treatment of the Kurt Weill/Ira Gershwin standard, known to many jazz lovers through the Miles Davis/Gil Evans collaboration. The melody is stated by alto and trumpet, but the written featured solo is for baritone sax with an optional solo cue in the 1st tenor part. Weaving lines throughout the band will keep everyone on their toes and the lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff with optional flugelhorns for the trumpets. This chart is creative, interesting and superbly written! Optional expanded instrumentation.
