Mercer Ellington's classic blues shuffle gets the Baylock treatment! The style is down home and the solos are for alto, trumpet, trombone, and tenor sax.  Also included is a powerful Baylock-style shout chorus and optional parts for expanded instrumentations. It's a fun chart and it gets our highest recommendation!

As the title suggests, this chart prominently features the trombone section, both on the melody and a soli section. Based on the chord changes of the classic jazz standard Doxy, it features written solos for alto sax or trumpet and for tenor sax, piano, or guitar. Bass and piano parts are both written out, too. The shout section provides saxophone soli space before the trombones get the final say in the outro. Trumpet range is to written G; trombone range is to F.

Slide Show

From the popular CD In The Christmas Mood recorded by the esteemed Glenn Miller Alumni Band, this swingin' chart in the classic Miller style has been used in several recent motion pictures. Your audiences and players will enjoy this throw back to the glory years of the swing era!

Jingle Bells

Jazz Ensemble Part

Here's the classic funk tune from Earth, Wind Fire in a terrific arrangement for big band by Mark Taylor. This one includes all your favorite signature horn riffs as well as a solo for tenor sax.

September

Jalen Publishing

Here's a Latin chart that your band will really love playing! A huge intro by the full band gives way to an easy mambo dance chart. There's plenty of fun from the rhythm section, and a soaring trumpet solo helps establish an authentic Cuban feel. Written or ad-lib solos for trumpet, trombone, tenor sax, and alto sax add to the carnival atmosphere. It all comes to a finish with an appropriate quote from The Peanut Vendor.

Mambo Natural

One of the all-time classics recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra, here's a terrific-sounding chart scored in a six-horn format. Staying true to the sound of the original, this arrangement is easy to learn and swings like crazy.

Until I Met You (Corner Pocket)

This song was a country hit for Eddy Arnold, Jerry Vale, Ray Charles, and Elvis Presley in the '50s and '60s and has since become a jazz standard performed by Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr., and Norah Jones. This swinging big band version of the tune is a feature for your vocalist but can also be used to feature other players in your group. Along with the vocal solo, there are alternate parts included for solo alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet or trombone, and an improvised alto sax solo. With stirring lyrics and some exciting big blow moments from the band, this tune will bring the house down!

You Don't Know Me

Featured in the hit movie "Deadpool Wolverine," this chart-topping '90s gospel rock hit by Madonna is arranged here for young jazz ensemble.

Like a Prayer

C. Sharp Music, Inc.

Feature your lead trombonist in this beautiful ballad that first appeared in the Charlie Chaplin film "Modern Times" (1936). Lush ensemble writing and a written-out improv-type solo make this a delightful change of pace for concert and assessment programs.

Smile

C Alan / McClaren Productions

Bring the Dixieland sound back with this rollicking New Orleans strut. A quartet of alto sax, trumpet, vibes, and guitar presents the main melody, and idiomatic chord progressions and rhythm section parts solidify the New Orleans sound. A flexible solo section leaves plenty of room to improvise, and the group solo section that follows lends an authentic Dixie flair.

Goodbye Enchilada

Magnolia Music Publications, LLC

This holiday chart is a down-and-dirty funk chart based on the traditional favorite Angels We Have Heard on High. With a nice feel, it features syncopated rhythms, an interesting chord progression, and a written or improvised solo for tenor saxophone. Flexible instrumentation is a highlight in that it can be played with four, five or six winds with rhythm section. Additional parts are included so that it can be played with virtually any combination of winds and rhythm section. Also available as a standard big-band chart (Pepper number 10517622), this will be a favorite for holiday concerts and community events!

Angled Angels

Jazz Combo Part

Michele Fernandez

This groovy and energetic blues–funk chart really does "strut" with its catchy riffs, Afro-Latin undertones, and exciting drive. The opening bass solo is written out and can be played by any instrument. Rhythm parts are all fully notated. Your audiences will certainly groove to this one at your next performance.

Bloo Phunk Strut

In 1987 Miles Davis took home the Grammy award for best jazz instrumental soloist for his performance of this composition by Marcus Miller. From the album of the same name, Tutu is creatively arranged here for full big band in a sultry hip-hop fusion style similar to the original. Featuring distinctive modal style harmonies, and a few twists and turns, and solos for trumpet (naturally) and alto sax, this is sure to be a standout selection for any ensemble!

Tutu

As a tribute to Charlie Barnet's signature tune here is a stunning flag-waver from the master himself. Sammy joined the Charlie Barnet band on trombone in 1946, and he specifically chose this tune to "give it a new suit of clothes." No solos are required, but this powerhouse chart features a workout for every section of the band. Alto Sax 1 doubles on Soprano Sax.

Skyliner

This is an awesome Mingus double-time swing chart in the original version as recorded on the Mingus Big Band 93 CD.  It kicks off with a hot bari sax intro, features some really tight licks, an extended open solo section, and an infectious bari sax line that drives the whole piece.  Serious jazz for serious bands!

Moanin'

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!

Walk the Dinosaur

Alfred Music Publishing

Composed by Duke Ellington and arranged by jazz arranger and transcriber, David Berger, Limbo Jazz is a calypso-swing for the younger player. Based on the simple chord progression to Happy Birthday, the rhythm section plays a simple even eighth note, limbo/Latin style and the winds play with a slight swing feel and it all comes together just right! There's some neat plunger mute work too. This chart includes accessible ranges and written solos for alto sax, trumpet and trombone along with great fun and history. It also includes optional, nontraditional parts for participation by your concert band members. Way cool! Very highly recommended!

Limbo Jazz

Doug Beach Music

Laid-back and easy-swinging, this chart in 3/4 has a very pleasing harmony and a catchy melody featuring the alto 1 and trumpet 1 in unison and harmony. Solo opportunities for alto sax and trumpet.
