A Salute to Glenn Miller II
The Glenn Miller legacy is an essential part of American history. Jeff Hest has arranged three more Glenn Miller hits in his second salute to the legendary bandleader. This tribute begins with the traditional sax section soli and the memorable Bobby Hackett trumpet solo in “String of Pearls,” continues with a ticket on the ever-popular “Chattanooga Choo Choo” and closes with the powerful classic “American Patrol.” A great teaching tool with sure-fire audience appeal: the timeless Glenn Miller sound.SKU: ALJEM01049 -

April in Paris
Arranger/composer Bob Mintzer adds brand new life to this dynamic jazz swing tune, as recorded on his recent Grammy winning CD Homage to Count Basie. The bossa nova treatment serves as a perfect blend of Bob’s contemporary harmonies with the traditional Basie sound. There is solo space for piano and optional solos for alto or trumpet. The brass range is very accessible with trumpet only to written G on top of the staff. This highly recommended chart belongs in every jazz library. (6:05)SKU: ALJEM02018 -

Blue Rondo a la Turk
A show-stopping tour de force! Dave Brubeck’s fabulous tune from his classic quartet album Time Out. Arranger Kris Berg worked hard on this chart to capture the essence of Brubeck. The meter changes from 9/8 to 12/8 Afro-Cuban groove with the Brubeck rhythm patterns. Solo space for alto 1, trumpet 2 and drums. Lead trumpet goes up to high C. This is an exceptional chart for concert or festival! (5:03)SKU: ALJEM05038 -

Body and Soul
This is a must-have solo feature for alto saxophone! Dave Wolpe is one of the finest writers ever and this chart is one of his very best. With a Kenton-esque rubato introduction, Dave proceeds with a ballad style but hold on to your reeds, the double time tempo swings hard. With some great ensemble writing, Dave sends the alto soloist off in grand style. After some solo space the chart returns to the ballad tempo leading into two fermatas creating a dramatic ending. This is an outstanding chart! (4:07)SKU: ALJEM02004 -

Bugle Call Rag
This monster chart is directly from the Benny Goodman library. Transcribed and re-created by Jeff Hest, not many tunes can match the energy of this big band classic. Solos are for clarinet (solo part,) trumpet, tenor, and trombone with solos written out along with the chord changes. Bugle Call Rag will provide a solid jazz education lesson in the swing style and it’s also a super crowd pleaser from the first note to the last. (2:46)SKU: ALJEM02039 -

Garaje Gato
As performed by Gordon Goodwin’s Little Phat Band, the instrumentation is tenor sax, trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar, bass (electric), and drums. A Latin groove with montuno patterns by the rhythm section, this chart really comes alive and stays focused with energy. The tempo is 125 BPM and the brass parts are demanding. All parts have solo space. Hot Latin. (1:32)SKU: AL40390 -

Give It One
You gotta have this spectacular chart! Alan arranged this one reminiscent of Maynard’s version but in a lower key—the lead trumpet only goes to written D above the staff. Tempo is brisk at 220 BPM but you could play is a little slower. Solo space is provided for all four trumpets for flexibility. Truly outstanding!SKU: AL40368 -

How Sweet It Is
A medium groove swing tune that fits like an old shoe—so comfortable and everything works just right. Composed and arranged by the legendary Sammy Nestico for the late Harry “Sweets” Edison, this chart screams Count Basie. And speaking of swinging, there is a glorious ensemble section that brings it all together so sweetly! Sammy includes solo space for trumpet, piano, second alto sax, tenor sax, and trombone. This chart is not technically difficult, but dynamics and cohesive ensemble playing are a must. A wonderful chart that belongs in every jazz library!

Lady Bird
Written by bebop composer Tadd Dameron as a tribute to jazz vocalist Billie Holiday, this jazz standard belongs in every jazz musician’s repertoire. With a short 16-bar form, this tune is a great introduction to the harmonic language of bebop, and Mike Tomaro’s setting for Little Big Band includes some added bebop-inspired lines.SKU: HL07013472 -

Lisette
An outstanding ballad for tenor or soprano saxophone soloist, this chart is truly gorgeous. Modest brass ranges (trumpet to fourth space E) make this arrangement accessible to most high school jazz ensembles. Add the lush harmony and the distinctive unison saxes, and you have a superb chart composed and arranged by perhaps one of the finest big band writers anywhere, Sammy Nestico. Superior dynamics and intonation will get right to the heart of this chart. Exceptional!SKU: ALJEM01024 -
