This chart features the sound of a New Orleans funeral band historically known as the "Second Line" behind the family and casket. It's a time for celebration coming after the initial mourning period. It's lots of fun to play in the style of a funky, marching, dixieland band. The harmonic form is the blues and there is room made for soloing both inside the ensemble and for featured soloists. The saxophone section features soprano lead and optional flute and tuba parts are included. A change-of-pace highlight with attitude!

Jazz Ensemble Score & Parts

Featuring a moderate tempo and a contemporary Latin groove, Mike Carubia's chart on Freddie Hubbard's To Her Ladyship opens with a unison melody featuring a small group of alto sax, flugelhorn or trumpet with an optional flute part. Short written or improvised solos and a simple, but powerful shout chorus with drum fills round out this Hubbard classic.

To Her Ladyship

Andy Farber presents a fast swinger in the Basie tradition that swings hard at about 200 bpm! Written solos are included as well as an optional flute part. Great as a concert or festival chart, it's also an ideal teaching vehicle for the style. Written ranges: Trumpet 1 to A; Trombone 1 to G; Alto Sax 1 to C. This impressive chart delivers!

Cruisin' with the Count

This original swing tune at a medium tempo is reminiscent of Henry Mancini.  It features tasteful writing, nice soli sections for all and an open solo section.  An optional flute part doubling the alto sax 1 part adds to the tonal color of this fun chart.  This one will remind you of your favorite, pink cartoon character.  It's an accessible chart that will be a great showcase for your entire ensemble!  Highly recommended!

Traces of Blue

Here's a terrific ensemble ballad that will provide that extra special change of pace slot in your concert or festival program.  It's in the rock ballad style, but breaks into a swing ballad style for contrast before returning to the rock ballad style.  There are short, written or improvised solos for tenor and trumpet.  Featuring a beautiful and lyrical melody, this ballad gives all sections of your band an opportunity to shine!

Theme for Stacey

Based on the changes to I Got Rhythm, this happy calypso style chart will add variety to your programming and will keep your players on their "cut-time toes." There's plenty of exposure for the full band and an open solo section with changes provided for any player that wants to do some stretching out. Great change-of-pace programming!

Calypso Blue

A laid-back Latin feel, written solos, a medium tempo, great melodies and hip harmonies are all the reasons you should check this one out! It's easy to play, but it will make your ensemble sound rich and full. No stress, no strain, just good flow! Very nice!

Tampico

This Mike Carubia original combines elements of swing with funky rock styles. Set at a moderate tempo groove with plenty of unison lines, this chart uses call-and-response passages stating the melody. The solos are based on two chords in the friendly key of B-flat, and two eight-measure ensemble sections follow the solos leading to a big ending. Including an optional flute part, Almost the Blues is very upbeat and accessible for developing groups. Totally unique and very cool!

Almost the Blues

This Thad Jones classic has been re-scored for performances by high school and better junior high groups without losing the integrity of the original. The swing/shuffle style produces a great feel and the solos are suggested or improvised. The ranges and technical requirements are reduced and the whole band gets an opportunity to shine in this great introduction to the music of Thad!

Pass out the auxiliary percussion instruments and open up the percussion interlude near the end! Outstanding in every respect!

Salsa Nights

The rescoring of this Thad Jones chart embodies the relaxed, laid-back style of the "Count Basie Band" Thad played with.  It's easier than the original, but all the great style and nuance remain intact.  There are solos for alto sax and piano that can be used in any order with different backgrounds for each solo.  A full blown shout chorus is followed by alto sax at a softer volume.  It would make a terrific opener for any performance.  Here is an outstanding chart for developing bands!  Highly recommended!

It Only Happens Every Time

Here's an up-tempo swinger that's a 12-bar minor blues featuring a unison sax melody and plenty of call-and-response writing between saxes and brass. An easy but effective shout chorus leads back to the head that's harmonized for the saxes this time around. The solo sections can be opened up and the chart ends big with a solo spot for the drummer.

Full House

Backstop is a medium-tempo, hard-driving blues chart in F.
