This classic Mingus composition is meant to be performed with a sense of an 'anger' or sarcasm and definitely projects an edginess. The bari sax and bass bone will have fun with the opening and there is plenty for the rest of the ensemble to get excited about as well in this medium swing romp.

Recorded on the Grammy-nominated CD “I Am Three” by the Mingus Big Band this composition was originally written by Mingus for a 1959 television drama. Arranged here for the Mingus Big Band by the late great JohnStubblefield the chart opens with a bluesy piano introduction followed by an accelerando that kicks into a high-energy shuffle groove. Solos are included for tenor sax trombone trumpet and piano. A sizzling ensemble shout andgroup improvisation bring it all to an exciting finish!

This catchy riff-based tune uses blues changes and you can make it as easy or as difficult as you like depending on the tempo you choose! Solos (or soli) are for sax as well as piano and drums. A wonderful introduction to theexciting music of Charles Mingus skillfully adapted by Andrew Homzy.

Here is a beautiful arrangement of Charles Mingus' signature ballad featuring altos and trumpets playing the melody off the top then later joined by the entire ensemble. Sample written solos are provided for the short solo orsoli spots for trumpet and trombone. A jazz classic!

The opening cut from the Mingus Big Band CD Gunslinging Birds is this raucous and blistering jazz waltz. Mingus wrote this piece as a tribute to Charlie Bird Parker with the subtitle If Charlie Parker were a gunslinger there'd bea whole lot of dead copycats. This chart doesn't hold anything back!

Here's a playable yet very effective arrangement of this signature Mingus composition. The familiar bari sax riff is handled by three saxes and there is also a substantial soli for the entire sax section.
