This unique set of 17 warm-up pieces for the young Jazz Ensemble covers the essential rhythmic and harmonic elements found in two styles of Jazz: even eighth note (such as Latin Rock) and Swing music. After the initial two legato warm-ups, the music is divided into four sections: Even eighth note examples in B flat, Swing examples in B flat, even eighth note examples in F and Swing examples in F. Each exercise builds on the previous example so younger jazz students will be introduced to essential rhythms and phrases in a well-sequenced method. The rhythm section parts are carefully crafted to allow maximum flexibility for each player. All the Warm-ups are designed to work at a variety of tempos and with various dynamic shadings, so each one can be used in a multitude of ways.

Designed as a flashy showpiece that features every section of the band, this uptempo burner is the perfect opener! After the attention-grabbing intro, the rhythm section starts things off then passes the baton to the trombone section. (A short interlude separates each feature spot, so plug in an announcer if you like!) The section shows its stuff followed by the trumpets. A short drum solo leads to the final full band chorus where everything comes together. This gets any concert off to an exciting start!

This jazz standard is typically a jazz waltz, but this superb chart has a very hip Latin-pardido feel in 4/4. Tempo is half note around 77 BPM, with solo opportunities, tenor 1 and trumpet 2 with suggested written solo provided. Lead trumpet range goes to written A-flat, a great sax soli along with optional flute and vibe parts. Up Jumped Spring arranged by Jeff Jarvis is an excellent choice! (5:41).
