The Black Bayou Blues
is a medium difficulty piece with an easy set of chord changes. This is a great
chart for working on blues style chords for everyone in the band. Solos are for
any sax, trombone, trumpet, rhythm and drums. In the PREVIEW page playback, when
the melody is not being played, you are hearing the backs. A great piece for
concerts and teaching in the blues format.
Here is Gershwin's Someone to Watch Over Me, in a great new arrangement for jazz band. This flexible arrangement can feature a vocal soloist, a vocal quartet or choir (SATB) or members of your own band. The solo sections are duplicated in the first trumpet for the slow section, and use an alto or tenor sax in the faster section. This is an arrangement you will use for years to come.
Need a great new number for your Jazz Band Christmas Concert? Here is
an exciting and tasteful arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. While
the first and last sections are in strict time, the center section swings
with solos for any trumpet, sax and trombone plus another for the drummer.
In this arrangement, sample solos are written out so any member of the
sections can have a chance to shine. Here's a great addition to your
library that will be used for many years to come.
Here is a nice swing setting
of this melody with a powerful ending. It lets you feature many soloists in
the band. Solos are for trombone, trumpet, piano, guitar, any sax and drums.
(Remember playback online will not include all of the solo sections in the
interest of timely delivery to your computer.)
This great standard by
Victor Herbert can feature any one of your saxes. In addition it has a solo
for trumpet and one of your rhythm players (piano, bass or guitar).
This is a new jazz number
with a Latin flare. The exciting ending layers on the band sections.
Solos are for any sax, trumpet, trombone and drums. Use this to start off
or end a concert with a bang!
