Charade

Jazz Ensemble Score & Parts

Here's the trombone solo/section feature you've been looking for!  This great jazz standard, first popularized by co-writer and singer Billie Holiday, is an ideal solo/soli vehicle for trombones.  Sammy's chart is not only lush and beautiful, but it makes perfect sense!

God Bless the Child

Sammy Nestico pays tribute to his long-time friend and trombone icon, Bill Watrous, with this touching trombone solo feature of Mancini's Too Little Time from the soundtrack of the 1954 film "The Glenn Miller Story." The trombone solo part requires a strong player as far as range, but is not technically difficult. A wonderful feature selection and a fitting tribute to a towering performer!

Too Little Time

Alfred Music Publishing

Now this is classy!  Dave Wolpe puts the trombones out front in this solid swinger, and boy do they sound great carrying the tune!  This sits comfortably for bands at the medium level, and three of your bone players get a chance to solo, with suggested solos offered.  What a great chart!

How High the Moon

Parts

Alfred Publishing Belwin Division

Featuring the trombone section, Dave Wolpe's chart on Secret Love just cooks and cooks! All four trombone parts have written-out solo sections, there's plenty of section work and nice ensembles too. The lead 'bone range is to high Bb and lead trumpet is to written B above the staff. This is an accessible and terrific chart to showcase your trombones. Highly recommended! Optional expanded instrumentation.

Secret Love

Jazz Ensemble Part

This fresh bossa setting of Leon Russell's classic #1 hit prominently features your lead trombone player as a soloist as well as the sax section. The solo section cleverly breaks into a samba with a double-time feel, then transitions back for the ending. Lead trumpet plays high B-flat, and lead bone plays high G.

This Masquerade

Bass trombone players can count on one hand the good charts available for their instrument. Well, here is one of the best yet - arranged in the style of the great George Roberts. With a medium-swing feel, this showcase tune will bring out the best in your bass trombone player with no improvisation, just written melody. There is some written or improvised jazz for second trumpet in Harmon mute, and the lead trumpet has a unison line to written high E. A nice sax soli is the icing on the cake. An outstanding feature chart!

Makin' Whoopee

Here's an outstanding Kenton-style ballad that showcases the lead trombone and the trombone section. The chart builds during a 12/8 section which makes it an even stronger choice as an excellent ballad feature. There are no improvised solos, and lead trumpet range is to written C above the staff with an optional D sharp. This one is a wonderful jazz ballad with a twist!

Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most

Hirsch Music

Here's a wonderful update of Tommy Dorsey's classic theme song. It's totally playable by high school jazz bands, yet it also sounds great with college and professional groups. It's written as a trombone feature throughout (with optional solo parts included for B-flat and E-flat instruments), although super-high Dorsey-esque chops are not required. The solo is mostly written with a section of improvising around the melody and ad lib fills at the end. Alternate solo parts for trumpet and saxophone are included, as well as optional parts for Clarinet, Flute, Vibes, and French Horn (doubling the Trombone 1 part). The bass and piano parts are fully notated. An outstanding ballad feature for any program!

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You

Strut is the low-end feature you've been waiting for! Feature your bass trombonist and/or your bari sax player in a funky James Brown groove a la Cold Sweat. The solos are notated with optional improvisation. Rhythm section parts are notated as needed, and several alternate parts are included in the set for expanded instrumentation. Your band and audiences will get up, get on up with Strut!

Strut

Kendor Music Publishing

Wow, here's a funk ballad that features your trombone soloist with a completely notated solo along with provided changes. The solo part floats over the band and remains legato against the band's funk grooves. An optional, extended improvisation section for the trombone soloist is included. If you're looking for something different for a solo feature... this is it!

Summer Never Ends

Kris Berg has composed a beautiful, sensitive and mature solo feature for B-flat, E-flat instruments or trombone. The ensemble is equally important in this setting at around 74 bpm that transitions from the ballad style to a double-time section with the soloist and then back to the ballad style. While the solo part is written, there are ample opportunities for improvisation. The lead trumpet range is to written high C. This is an outstanding chart and ideal vehicle for your advanced soloist.

Lifelong Friends

Although this was a pop hit back in the late 1960s, this familiar ballad lends itself nicely for jazz ensemble treated here as a jazz waltz. Scored to feature a solo trombone, alternate solo parts are provided for B-flat and E-flat instruments for added flexibility. This terrific setting features a driving style with solid hits for the full ensemble as well as feature spots for the brass section and also the saxes.

Wichita Lineman

Brolga Music Publishing, Co.

Feature your lead trombone with this great chart. Things start off sultry with a written solo and ethereal lines in the saxophones and trumpets. When things come together, it has some punch. Later on, the trombonist improvises for an extended solo. If you are looking to feature your lead trombone and have a great group that can back them up, go for this chart!

Bluestone Lane

This song was a pop hit for several artists in the '70s and '80s, and now it has fresh life as a contemporary-sounding jazz waltz. A solo trombone is featured throughout, with plenty of support from the rest of the ensemble. Also included are solos for tenor sax, trumpet, and drums. A distinctive new take on a classic tune.

Superstar

Jalen Publishing

Shine a spotlight on your trombones with this catchy medium swing feature. Full of unison melody in the trombones as well as individual lines, this chart is great to feature a section that knows how to have fun. Perfect for any program, your bones will thank you for this!

The Trouble with Trombones

Copyright Year

Excelcia Music Publishing, LLC

Evocative and heartfelt, this composition is filled with beautiful dynamic contrasts, tight voicings, hip figures, and multiple layers of orchestration. The chart starts warmly with a written solo for trombone that leads to a melodic passage for flugelhorn. The rhythm section parts are especially well written and include all the details your players will need for a successful performance.

Bons Sohnos, Maestro

A Gordon Goodwin vocal chart! In addition to the vocal part, there are optional solo feature parts for alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet or trombone for added flexibility. Gordon has conceived this with the solo intertwined into the fabric of the chart. The vocal keys are F, G, and A-flat with modulations, and the vocal range is low E below middle C to E-flat fourth space. As recorded on The Phat Pack CD. An outstanding feature for your singer or any horn player!

Too Close for Comfort

Shine a light on your trombone section with this strong trombone feature chart. This fun swing tune is inspired by the great J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding duets of the 1950s and is sure to show the witty side of your group!

On the Slide!

Steven Kessler

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.
