Emily
“Emily” is a beautiful waltz-certainly one of the finest melodies of our time by composer Johnny Mandel. Arranger Lisa DeSpain delivers a fine chart that will help you teach phrasing, how to connect the phrases, phrase contour, use of slurs, and vibrato. The melody is stated by trombone and tenor sax, written or ad lib solos are for trombone and cued for trumpet. Range is modest and the rhythm section can focus on the 3/4 feel. You’ll enjoy this one.

Song from M*A*S*H
You know it and love it—this is one of the best TV/movie themes ever. Superbly arranged as a Latin bossa with written-out solos provided for trumpet 2 and alto, a piano montuno interlude, and the lead trumpet range to written A. A great chart! (3:54)SKU: AL41123 -

The Shadow of Your Smile (from The Sandpiper)
Here is a classic that is already considered a standard from the next generation of American composers. Johnny Mandel wrote this gorgeous melody that is hauntingly beautiful, and Roy Phillippe arranged it for the younger band to feature the piano, alto sax, and trumpet. Flexible instrumentation and optional parts are included, along with some rich section harmonies, trumpets in harmon mute for musical color, and a powerful ensemble sound that will make your band sound terrific. Roy Phillippe is a superb writer who delivers the right stuff. You’ll enjoy this fine chart.SKU: ALJEM01017 -
