Discovery Jazz – Grade 1.5Here is a good example of creative arranging using very limited technical demands. Michael has taken this familiar standard and converted it into a smooth-sounding Latin chart. Atrumpet/alto duet starts things out then the full ensemble gets into the act. No solos are required however a stop-time section features written or ad lib. drum fills.

Here's one of the most recognizable standards ever written effectively scored for youger groups by Mark Taylor in a Basie swing style. This chart features tutti ensemble writing at its best and also includes a short piano solo.
