C-Jam Blues
Grade 1.5Finally, this Ellington classic is available for even the most inexperienced bands. For starters, this version is in Bb rather than C. Rick features the saxes on the melody with inventive brass counterlines, and later a marvelous ensemble tutti section that starts soft then builds to the end. An absolute must! Enjoy great flexibility with the Discovery Jazz series! Playable with 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, piano and drums.SKU: HL07470604 -

C-Jam Blues
Rick Stitzel skillfully dresses up this amazingly simple melody with counterlines and solid scoring for the little big band format. Solos are provided for alto sax and trumpet, but with the easy blues changes anyone can take a shot at an improvised solo.SKU: HL07013994 -
Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble Grade: 3
C-Jam Blues
Here is a creative new take on the Duke Ellington favorite, set in a New Orleans “street beat” style. A piano introduction sets up the groove, then a small group takes the initial statement of the theme. The rest of the ensemble enters with a counter line before the full ensemble launches the solo section, which is designed to feature any number of soloists. Unique and effective!SKU: HL7012113 -
Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble Grade: 4
C-Jam Blues (ala Mambo!)
Here is an excitingly different take on this Ellington swing classic done in a mambo style! Including a slightly twisted melody to fit the style, Latin master Michael Philip Mossman cleverly adds counterlines, a montuno section, solos for alto and trumpet, and a vamp that starts soft then gains momentum. We think even the Duke would have liked this distinctive chart!SKU: HL07011223 -

Enjoy great flexibility with the Discovery Jazz series! Playable with 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, piano and drums.SKU: HL7470707 -

Caravan
Wow! This is a show-stopping chart by arranger Alan Baylock of the Ellington/Tizol classic. The groove moves logically between an up-tempo swing, a “Maiden Voyage” feel, a double time swing and a 12/8 Afro-Cuban feel. Features include plenty of solo space for tenor saxophone, brief written melody lines for various instruments, and lots of moving lines and sax solis. Lead trumpet range is to written D above the staff. Caravan is nothing short of spectacular.SKU: AL26885 -

Cotton Tail
Here is the classic Ellington swinger in a fabulous version for younger players. The drive and excitement of the original is still there as Mark starts out with a small combo of 2 tenors and 2 trombones, then gets the full band involved. Includes solos for alto and/or trombone and also for trumpet and/or piano. This chart will sound great with any band!SKU: HL7010802
