Feels So Good
Chuck Mangione’s huge hit arranged by Victor López, “Feels so Good” features the Flugelhorn solo (on the 1st trumpet part) throughout with the distinctive melody and then a written out solo along with a written tenor sax solo. The flugelhorn solo range is up to written high C but the solo is cued on the 1st tenor part. A well-known and appealing tune that will be enjoyed by both the band and the audience.

For Lena and Lennie
Here is a wonderful medium swing ballad based on the version Quincy Jones wrote for Count Basie, and also recorded on Quincy’s own album “Quintessence.” The saxes lead the way to start with, followed by lush, full ensemble writing throughout, plus a short trumpet solo. This very playable arrangement is a perfect “down” number for any contest or festival. (Cherry Lane Music)SKU: HL2501058 -

Fowl Play
Mercy! If you know Kris Berg’s funky music, then you know about chicken. Do you want a funky Tower of Power-style chart? Well then, this is it. The whole band will have their eyes glued to this chart as the horn players hunt and peck through this one. The rhythmic figures are searing with energy, the rhythm section will cook on high heat throughout and the tenor sax soloist will need oven mitts for protection. Lead trumpet to written high C (optional D). Once this chart is done, the band and the audience will order up again and again. Highly recommended! (4:57)SKU: ALJEM03031 -
