‘S Wonderful
Start your band off swinging with this Gershwin standard arranged by Ralph Ford. The trombones start things off, add the brass section, then add a sax soli. Hold on, there’s more; into a tutti for the ensemble followed by written or ad-lib alto sax, trumpet and piano solos. Can you identify the clever quote? The shout chorus brings it all home. Superb writing throughout. (3:26)SKU: ALJEM02047 -

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Crazy title? It’s from the movie of the same name and is a tongue-in-cheek swing chart adapted from a much more difficult chart by Gordon Goodwin for the Big Phat Band. Arranged for the younger player, there are ensemble and some section solis but no improvised solos. A little challenging, but this will be a fun chart for any performance and will be a hit with both the band and audience. (3:35)SKU: AL30626 -
