Written in the calypso style, this Latin original features a tuneful melody supported by an interesting chord progression with solid orchestration. Though this chart contains great learning material, it's simply fun to play and will leave the band and the audience whistling the melody. The piano part is fully notated with chord symbols provided. The guitar part consists primarily of changes and slashes, with a couple brief notated sections where the guitarist shares some melodic material with the ensemble. The solo section has changes cued for all instruments and can be negotiated with the notes from only one scale. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 2:45.

Recorded on the SWR Big Band CD Fun Time and adapted from the tune Blue Daniel, this chart romps along in four instead of three and sounds harder than it is. It features a sax chorus and solos by alto sax, tenor sax and trombone, along with some powerful ensemble choruses between optional solos. The tempo is a very comfortable 116 beats per minute. Saxophones and trombone play the melody on the first two choruses and a reprise at the end. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued.

A high energy rock chart loaded with appeal! Trumpets are featured throughout but there’s plenty for everyone else to do. Includes an easy written out bass solo. Utilizing repetitive rhythms and fingerings that lay well on the instrument, the difficulty level of this piece is easily attainable by younger, less experienced groups and with less than perfect instrumentation. Easy changes and written out solos will encourage developing soloists, yet will also showcase mature players. Appeal, accessibility, and modest ranges make this chart an excellent concert or contest selection and an all-around winner for your jazz ensemble!
