Mr. Blue Sky
Originally released by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) in 1978, this rock hit has been thrust back in the limelight thanks to numerous movie usages, including the opening sequence of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Whether or not you’re a fan of the movie, this is still a great-sounding arrangement playable by young bands.SKU: HL07013564 -

Puttin’ on the Ritz
Irving Berlin’s tuneful standard was put back on the map with the classic scene from Mel Brooks’ movie Young Frankenstein. This clever arrangement alternates between a 2-beat feel and straight ahead swing, and features solo space for tenor sax, trumpet, and even a short solo for bass. Fun!SKU: HL07013804
