Channel One Suite
Warner Bros. Publications is proud to bring you the Buddy Rich jazz classic CHANNEL ONE SUITE. This piece was one of Buddy’s signature tunes, and it is now in print for the first time ever. Tom Davis has faithfully transcribed this chart from the original recording. It’s a real challenge, but one your students will love. In order to make this chart more accessible to most bands, we have provided alternate trumpet parts that have been rewritten to omit some of the extreme upper register passages. This is a piece of jazz history, and either way you play it, this chart is a winner! (duration 10:43)

It Had to Be You
A swinger from the creative mind of arranger Tom Davis, It Had to Be You continues to be a recognized standard song popular in movies and on TV. The students will dig into this swinging chart starting with the clever intro right into the trombone section melody. Solo space (with written solos provided) is for trombone, trumpet, and tenor sax, and the brass ranges are reasonable. Your search for a superb arrangement of a great American standard by an experienced writer is over. A winner of a chart.SKU: ALJEM01051 -

Linus and Lucy
The theme song for the delightful Charlie Brown and the Peanuts(R) gang television shows is a wonderful jazz tune by Vince Guaraldi. Kids from 2 to 92 will enjoy this chart, which Tom Davis has skillfully arranged for your first year jazz group. It is playable with reduced instrumentation, and all solos are written out. It really swings! (3:28)

St. James Infirmary
Down-home and bluesy, slow and greasy! This outstanding chart blends a New Orleans-style slow swing and contemporary harmonies. The best of both worlds comes alive within the creative mind of arranger Tom Davis. Your young band students will love this arrangement so much that they won’t want to stop playing. Lots of unison, easy brass range (trumpet to F and trombone to E-flat), alto and tenor sax written solos with band backgrounds, and simple rhythms will all give you a quality musical product with minimum rehearsal time. Very effective chart for festivals and concerts!“This chart gives the New Orleans classic a funk treatment. The piece starts with a great introduction, and a vamp based on the melody follows each chorus. Written solos for the tenor sax and trumpet are in D minor and use some nice stylistic elements.”
