Beautiful and melodic, this lush jazz ballad puts the spotlight on your tenor saxophone or trombone soloist. The sweet melody and engaging backgrounds make this a great chart for teaching your ensemble to perform with a soloist for the first time. The fully written solo part is both lyrical and accessible and will give your young soloist confidence and an opportunity for exposure.

This Hoagy Carmichael standard from has remained a staple for jazz musicians for almost a century. With its haunting melody and lush chord progression, this ballad treatment of the tune features your tenor sax soloing through the melody, interspersed with melodic statements from the rest of the band. The solo section features an ad-lib tenor sax solo before the rest of the band returns to close out the tune. The lead trumpet plays up to an A just above the staff.

Stardust

As the title suggests, this is a tour de force for your band's hot tenor sax soloist! With a sultry, greasy, down-home feel, the soloist gets the melody interspersed with melodic statements from the band. Your bass trombone player also gets to do a bit of showing off. There's a long improvised section for the soloist to stretch out, then the entire band comes in with a big ensemble shout chorus. The soloist takes over again to bring it home. Two solo parts are provided; one totally improvised and one a suggested written-out solo.

Once Upon a Time is an outstanding ballad feature for either trombone or tenor sax soloists that's filled with melodic and harmonic creativity. Jazz groups at any level will sound impressive playing this gorgeous and sophisticated chart. The ranges are very reasonable and it's playable with optional limited instrumentation. Look up "beautiful" in the dictionary and you'll find this chart!

Here We Go

Stephen Johnson

Breathless is a sophisticated, restrained bossa nova, recalling the classic arranging styles of Gary mcFarland (Stan Getz: Big Band Bossa Nova), Quincy Jones (Big Band Bossa Nova) and Claus Ogerman (João Gilberto: Amoroso) as well as the more contemporary harmonic language of Vince Mendoza, Lyle Mays and Maria Schneider.

Almost throuout, the drummer remains on brushes, and the dynamic level is contained, allowing the featured tenor 1 soloist to carry the melody without straining, in a sound reminiscent of Stan Getz. Only at m.140, during the BRASS SOLI, should the volume reach a true forte, including the use of sticks, before fading away again through to the end of the chart.

Rhythmically, the piece largely adheres to a 3-2 Bossa Nova clavé. Some use of Partido Alto would be appropriate to create some variation in the accompaniment if desired. The SOLOS section at m.91 is notated for tenor 1 and tenor 2 (doubling soprano sax), but the supplied solo changes sheets allow for any soloists as preferred; this section can be repeated as many times as necessary, with the notated backings used on cue. The notated solos may be used or ignored as appropriate to your band's needs. This is also true of the piano solo at m.107.

Overall, this chart is most challenging in its rhythmic and harmonic detail, requiring good section balance, tuning and time feel. The rhythm section has the most to do to bring the whole piece together well; otherwise, the piece can be tackled by any reasonably confident ensemble. The lead trumpet goes to concert C6; lead trombone to A4.

Breathless

Lester Sleeps In (Again)

Spotlight your powerhouse tenor sax soloist with this high‑octane funk chart. A bold cadenza‑style opening lets your featured player command the stage before the rhythm section locks into a deep, infectious groove. One by one the horns layer in, building momentum toward a thrilling, adrenaline-charged shout chorus that brings the house down. Perfect for advanced high school ensembles, this chart is the kind students will beg to play at every rehearsal and show.

"Super 20 Stomp" was written at the request of my good friend Mr. Gary Meggs. The King Super 20 is a classic jazz saxophone constructed in the late 40's and early 50's and are known for having a big jazz sound. The band accompaniment is a blues in C with a few interesting twists and turns. Feature your star tenor sax player at your next concert with "Super 20 Stomp."
