Just Friends
There’s no way you won’t swing on this jazz classic for the young player treated here in a Basie style. Arranger Joe Jackson took this standard and worked his magic to score it for the Jazz Band Series. Joe has included solos for piano and tenor sax, both with written solos provided, and an outstanding sax section soli. By the way, the suggested piano solo is just as the Count would have played it—tasty. This chart is nothing short of an education in big band. The way this chart builds intensity, the dynamics, the drum fills, and ensemble shout chorus are all textbook big band techniques. This chart will stand out in your library.SKU: ALJEM01044 -

The Little Drummer Boy
Turn your drummer loose! If you’re looking for a feature for your drummer, you found it with Little Drummer Boy. Although traditionally a holiday title, this very clever arrangement by Joe Jackson will sound great 365 days a year. Written in the style of “Cute,” this is a great vehicle for brushes, sticks and swinging ensemble and has tremendous potential as showstopper at a concert or festival. Packed with dynamics, simple syncopation figures, a trumpet solo and plenty of space for the drummer, Joe did an outstanding job with this arrangement. Don’t miss this one! (4:44)SKU: ALJEM02042
