True North

Alfred Music Publishing

Feature your bass player! Arranger Mike Lewis has taken this classic Benny Goodman swing tune and turned it into an easy, melodic showcase for the bass. Mike also provides solo space with written solos for 1st tenor sax and piano. The brass ranges are modest and the chart really swings from beginning to end! Don't let  the year go by without playing this one that sounds great with electric or acoustic bass. Superb chart!

Stompin' at the Savoy

Bakers Jazz and More

This hard-swinging 12-bar blues features acoustic bass in a Thad Jones-inspired setting. It cooks right along and the ensemble provides solid support for the bass soloist. At a tempo of 140 bpm, this chart provides a very accessible opportunity for the unsung hero of the rhythm section to shine. Soprano sax leads the sax section. A unique and very cool trombone section plus bass soli is wrapped between solos for trumpet, soprano sax and bass before heading into the shout chorus. Brass ranges: trumpet to written high C and trombone to G-flat. Bass features are hard to find, and this one is outstanding!

Foundation Issues

Walrus Music Publishing

A quiet, rather haunting theme is played by soprano or optional alto sax and high-register bass, plus solos for bass and/or soprano sax. Trumpet 1 range to high E. Doubles: Solo Alto Sax optional Soprano; 5 Trumpets on Flugelhorns.

The Long Road Home

C L Barnhouse Company

It's time to let your bass player get some of the spotlight! This cool chart is written in three parts, a funky rock, a slow triple blues, and a hot shuffle. Designed to showcase the bass player, the band parts complement the soloist, but allow the bass to be heard. Each of the sections can be opened for bass or other solos as desired, or it can be performed straight through, exactly as written. A very unique and useful chart!

Touchin' All the Basses

Northeastern Music Publications

There's an optional section for an extended bass solo and two written cadenzas at the end. Walkin' My Bass Back Home is accessible, easy swinging, and laid back fun!

Walkin' My Bass Back Home

Jazz Lines Publications

This arrangement by Gil Fuller was written to showcase Ray Brown, the bassist of the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band. Gillespie's big band performed this arrangement many times over the years. In 1949 J.J. Robbins &amp; Sons published a stock arrangement of this tune that was nearly identical to the arrangement from Dizzy's book. The only major difference was that the published version was for 3 trumpets instead of 4. The 4th trumpet part has been restored for this version. The bass fills have not been written out, allowing for the bass soloist to improvise over the provided chord changes.

One Bass Hit

Les Hooper has a way of creating charming, interesting and playful music and not making it too hard to play. This chart is very easy to play in terms of rhythm and ranges. The solo bass part, however, will require a player who has a reasonable skill level on the instrument. There is an open section in the middle of the chart for the bass soloist. Bass is featured throughout. Bass features are hard to find! 5-4-4-3

The Shortest Dissonance Between Two Points

Here's a challenging, bright swing chart from the Stan Kenton library that highlights a string bass soloist at both the beginning and end. Featuring a stretched introduction where the rhythm section comps and the bass player solos, this is just the vehicle to feature your stellar bassist. The band cooks too with bright swing figures, section solis and solos for alto and tenor. Transcribed solos and changes are included for all the soloists.  A great chart from Kenton's "Live at the Tropicana" CD.
