Ensemble

Here is a well-crafted setting on this timeless swing ballad. George's arrangememnt features Alto Sax and is a perfect change of pace for contest of festival use.

For vocal soloists it doesn't get any better than this all-time favorite from the '40s. Jerry's medium slow swing version is in a great range and features very effective background ensemble writing. Sure winner!

Recorded by the group Styx in 1977, this chart opens in a rock ballad style featuring a solo alto sax. The mood then shifts to a driving rock pulse featuring the brass on the powerful strains of the chorus. Solid rock and roll for young players!

Jazz Ensemble Library - Grade 4 From America's jazz master, Duke Ellington, comes this hauntingly beautiful ballad. Mike's outstanding setting features a lush ensemble sound plus solos for alto and piano.

Mike Tomaro has taken this Beatles favorite and converted it into a unique setting for jazz ensemble. He kept the slow funky groove intact, but went a little nuts harmonically! Includes an optional guitar solo. This is a great chart for something a little different.

Essential Elements for Jazz Ensemble - Grade 1-2 This soulful and funky tune is built using a twisted sort of blues progression, but is a great sounding groove for beginning bands. This will come together easily and be fun to play.
