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

Fun and exciting, this rousing production number features those rompin' tunes made famous by the Blues Brothers! A great way to provide something a little different at your next jazz concert, this invigorating medley includes Everybody Needs Somebody to Love, Soul Man, Soul Finger, and I Can't Turn You Loose. Yep, they're all there..count 'em! Highly recommended!

Blues Brothers Revue

Alianza, the Spanish word for "alliance," is represented here through the high-energy blending of Latin and swing styles. The main melody seamlessly integrates the two styles. There is a written-out jazz solo for trumpet 2, and every section of the band is featured at some point. The lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff. Optional parts are included for flute, horn in F, baritone/tenor sax, tuba, and percussion. A refreshing challenge! Highly recommended!

Victor Lopez, who knows the Latin idiom inside and out, has given us a powerhouse 6/8 Latin chart that will make your ensemble sound like the Kenton Band. It's majestic, powerful and noble and includes written solo space for tenor sax and an optional Latin percussion part. Optional parts are included for flute, horn in F, baritone/tenor sax and tuba. This is a "must-have" chart with pure excitement from beginning to end!

La Suerte de los Tontos

Jazz Ensemble Part

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

Featuring a dark intensity and a powerful unison riff figure in minor, this medium swing chart is a great showcase for your bass player as well as the trombone section.  The harmonic structure is quite simple, but the depth of the arrangement comes from the thematic layers that are continually added throughout.  Written solo (or soli) sections are included for the trombones and trumpets as well as notated piano voicings and bass lines.  The brass ranges are moderate and optional parts are included for flute, clarinet and F horn.  Here is an exciting Mingus gem for your band! Highly recommended!

Haitian Fight Song

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)

Show off the sensitive side of your band with this ensemble ballad with no featured soloist. There is a brief four-bar written trumpet melody; otherwise, it's all ensemble blend with a lush texture and a double-time section. Lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff. The drummer plays with brushes and sticks, the band emotes, and everybody sounds great! Optional parts for flute, horn in F, baritone horn, and tuba are included. You'll fall in love with this excellent chart!

When I Fall in Love

Jazz at Lincoln Center

Perhaps the most famous time chart of all, Take Five is in 5/4 - but the rhythmic pattern is clear and consistent throughout. You'll find this arrangement very accessible, with easy alto sax and drum solos plus modest brass ranges. This chart features a more laid-back style than the original and is sure to be just as important today as was in the 1960s. Recommended for every jazz enthusiast!

Take Five

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.
