JoeCopio Music LLC #2032001. Published by JoeCopio Music LLC (A0.876417). THE BACH JAZZ SONATA FROM THE 3RD MOVEMENT OF THE FLUTE/VIOLIN SONATA II IN Eb* FOR Eb INSTRUMENTS Arr. By Joe Procopio These arrangements by Joe Procopio from J.S. Bach’s Flute/Violin Sonata II in Eb are special in many ways. Firstly, it fills the need for the very best in music combining the genres of both Classical and Jazz. In addition, it is also importantly unique because it may be performed by a variety of musicians. For example, the arrangement in C may be performed by 2 or more C Instruments including Flute, Piccolo, Oboe and Violin with a small band accompaniment (Piano, Guitar, Bass, and Drums - Guitar is optional). The work may also be performed with just the Piano and/or Guitar for accompaniment. What’s more, the Rhythm Track Accompaniment is available without the solo instruments adding to the already many attributes of this music that enhance its inherent genuine global appeal. This is critical because teachers, students and musicians worldwide are constantly seeking music of the highest quality that can be skillfully presented to the public while having, at the same time, built-in qualities both pleasing to the listener and the performer alike. Bach’s melodies have certainly stood the test of time and Jazz is without question internationally popular. That makes these arrangements truly worthy of attention from people, artists and publishers throughout the world. The composer personally has had great success with this work in many major concerts including its premier performance using a Flute Choir at a Civic Center Concert held in Syracuse, NY before several thousand people who triumphed the young musicians with a standing ovation. The melody by J.S. Bach used in this work is taken from the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe Band 9 and 1 Kammermusik BWV 1031- known as the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach which was published in 46 volumes from 1851-1899. A single volume was issued in 1926. The last surviving editor of the series died in 1928, and these volumes are now public domain worldwide. They are also held in acclaim because there are no articulation or expression marks in the Gesellshaft. Therefore, the articulation and expression marks written in these arrangements by the arranger are suggestions only. Musicians may perform the works in any manner best suited to the betterment of their own performance.

TRAFFIC JAM is an original composition for big band and featured as a set piece for the 2005 Australian Academy Festival of Music Jiants of Jazz Ensemble division. This is a lively, up-tempo swing piece that was inspired by the mayhem and frustrations of rush hour travel.  The arrangement of the main theme features a small combo of Alto Sax, Trumpet, Trombone and Guitar with the rhythm section providing rhythmic counterpoint.  Solo space is provided for 1st Tenor Sax, 2nd Trumpet, 1st Alto Sax and 1st Trombone.  The solo sections may be opened up for players to take additional choruses if desired. A shout chorus provides the band with an opportunity to let loose. There is a fair amount of independence between sections, rhythmic shots and some fragmented melodic ideas that will require careful attention to execute accurately.  The ending brings everything back home to the solitude of the garage for another day. I hope you enjoy performing this piece!www.bemus.com.au

Funky Monkey - from the CD SAZZUNK, starts out with a simple funky groove using horn accents to catch your attention. The head is initially stated by solo trumpet followed by a duet with alto sax on the melody that soon jumps into the musical jungle to have a lot of complex fun getting wrapped up in the complex vines of that oh so unpredictable melodic jungle! Full of riffs and fun lines it returns to the melody with a multi-layered version that wraps up this Funky Monkey line with attitude. The solo/duet per the CD is transcribed.

When my friend Werner told me to listen to Smooth Operator, I thought he meant the well-known mid-80s smooth jazz number by the British band Sade. Instead, I got a surprise. This Smooth Operator was totally different, totally unknown to me, and provoked me to find out about Dorothy Dandridge and her life. I encourage you to do so too.The album Smooth Operator was released in 1999. However, Dorothy Dandridge had recorded this song nearly 40 years earlier, in February 1961, with – according to the sleeve notes from Verve Records – an unknown orchestra and unknown producer. The arranger of the band charts is also not credited. It seems there was just one take, because when Ms. Dandridge enters at the pickup to measure 5, it takes the rhythm section a few beats to fall into line with her; one trumpet also enters too early in measure 74! Notwithstanding, this is an amazing, very cool number, and if your female vocalist feels up to the challenge of these cheeky, risqué lyrics, then these easy charts will enable your big band to recreate the piece.Although the style is dated and recalls a bygone era, I feel this song is a good way to remember this brilliant actress, singer, and dancer who died so young, and draw attention to the injustices she suffered and which are still with us today. The tagline to the film of her life starring Halle Berry sums up her life: Right woman. Right place. Wrong time.

Lead trumpet range extends to D5 and cup mutes are required for the trumpet section. The trombones and baritone sax are featured and help to build energy into the full ensemble shout section. Pay particular attention to dynamics through this section and again at the coda.

Al Jarreau's 1981 hit, Roof Garden arranged for an advanced to high intermediate big band, with lots of room to feature Tenor 1 (and/or others) in solos. Tension is built through hand claps and rhythm section, before explosive full band shouts launch the full groove.

Published by DaimlerMusic (A0.1118481). Love Is A Losing Game is the story of a woman who is disillusioned with love. She has fallen head over heels for the man of her dreams. But what seemed like a beautiful promise turned out to be just an illusion. Outwardly self-confident and convinced of himself, but inwardly not up to the challenges of a relationship, he cowardly flees out of fear. Leaving her in loneliness and pain.

Johan Verhey is a professional musician and composer, as well as arranger. He knows how it feels to play a piece “in the pocket� with the intention of the original composer always in mind. His arrangements honour the Artist who wrote the original piece to express their soul. Each measure is created with precise attention to the intention of the lyrics. The instrumentation carries forward the story with dynamic harmonies. Johan Verhey understands the nuances of this piece and creates a dynamic and engaging arrangement. He also understands the power of the moment when the musician feels equally inspired and free to soar within the structure. The ability to play this arrangement does not require a specific skill level; only the heart , soul and intention is mandatory.More music from Johan Verhey, see: www.bestarrangementsforbands.com.
