from THE POLAR EXPRESS-Recorded by Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith fame) for the movie The Polar Express here is a lively jump swing tune that is clearly over the top! The tempo is frantic and the brass licks are blistering. Sounds like fun! This one worksfor the holidays or for normal occasions as well.

Recorded by Bob Seger this hard-hitting classic rock tune continues to be a favorite. Saxes are featured on the melody and there is a flexible solo section for any combination of alto sax trumpet or trombone. Sure to be a hit!

Written in a sophisticated funk style and recorded by Steely Dan this appealing chart features a moderate tempo biting harmonies and solo space for piano and trombone. Great change of pace programming.

A study in contrasts this dynamic chart features a blazingly fast swing tempo that alternates with sections in a very slow ballad style. The flexible solo section allows you customize this chart to fit the needs of your band. Recorded live by the Mingus Big Band

The trumpet section gets the spotlight for much of this Kenny Dorham standard but there are still lots of interesting parts for all sections in this new arrangement by Michael Mossman. Written in a Latin boogaloo style thechart also includes solos for tenor and trumpet.
