Cut to the Chase
In popular jargon, the phrase “cut to the chase” means to get to the really interesting or important point, and leave out all that is unnecessary. It originated from early cinematic lore when silent films were full of romantic storylines that inevitably led to much more exciting and memorable chase sequences. In this work, the melodic fragments are tossed around the band to give the impression that everyone is being chased or chasing something. To pay homage to the phrase’s past, the frantic atmosphere stops for an obligatory inclusion of a slow, romantic chord progression with a soaring melody, and then the chase resumes, building to a rousing conclusion.

Cute
Neal Hefti’s great drum feature CUTE is arranged here for your beginning jazz band! This tune has been performed by many great jazz bands from Count Basie on down, but now arranger Mike Story works his magic to score CUTE for the easy level—and it sounds great. Mike has designed this chart so that all the parts are accessible to the less-experienced players; even the brass ranges are fail-safe, with trumpet to D and trombone to C. The drum solo is clearly written and will be the highlight of the concert. Flexible instrumentation and all the usual optional parts make this a sure-fire winner. Outstanding!SKU: ALJEM00043
