Ensemble

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.

(Lowden)

One of the most recognizable television themes ever written, this has been a favorite melody with jazz players for years. It works great in this combo setting.

Even though the TV show is for little tikes, the familiar theme song is very popular with jazz players. (Go figure!) The saxes are featured on the head and the trumpets take the melody on the bridge. This easy chart also includes written or ad lib solos for Trumpet and/or Tenor and a full ensemble shout chorus at the end. You'll have fun with this one!

The arranging genius of Gordon Goodwin is readily apparent in this unique version of Miles Davis' classic. At times a jazz waltz, at times straight ahead swinging in 4, the ensemble lines flow effortlessly from style to style. Solo space is available for any combination of alto, tenor, trumpet or trombone. A marvelous showcase on an important jazz standard. (Alto 1 doubles on flute)

Scored for 3 horns with flexible instrumentation plus rhythm section, this set of combo arrangements features written out piano voicings and bass lines as well as drum part suggestions and horn backgrounds for solos. Includes: Sonny's Mood (Sonny Clark), Grant's Tune (Grant Green), Nice and Easy (Johnny Griffin), In Walked Horace (J.J. Johnson), Al's Mist (Al Grey) and The Clan (Curtis Fuller).

A simple and elegant arrangement of the beautiful melody Shenandoah as recorded on the 2010 Canadian Brass album Stars and Stripes. Written for 2 flugelhorns, horn, trombone, and tuba with optional offstage trumpets, it is appropriate for an intermediate level ensemble.

Made famous by Earth, Wind & Fire, this may be one of the funkiest grooves ever recorded. Deceptively simple sounding, this medium tempo chart displays a level of sophistication suited for any festival while providing a rhythmic foundation to really rock the stage!
