Harlem Chaser is an electrifying tribute to Duke Ellington's iconic Harlem Suite, capturing the essence of its lush harmonies and rhythmic depth. The piece kicks off with the rhythm section, and an improvisation solo on guitar (or piano). As the saxophones introduce the vibrant melody, the brass section layers in with intricate harmonies and syncopated rhythms that build the complexity.

The excitement continues as the trombones bring in the counter-melody, leading into solo opportunities for the lead alto followed by the trumpet. Each member of the ensemble is immersed in rhythmic challenges that push their musicianship, with rhythms that weave in and out, sometimes offset by as little as an eighth note, adding to the musical tension.

Full of unexpected rhythmic twists, simple unison lines to thick harmonies, Harlem Chaser demands full commitment to its Believe It! philosophy. It crescendos to a thrilling Buddy Rich-style finale, making it a perfect opener or closer for any concert or competition. Whether it's the musicians or the audience, the infectious energy of this chart is sure to grab everyone from the first note to the last!

(The original recording does not have a piano part, however, one is included. There are also some simple voicing “suggestions” in the chord chart).

Nessun Dorma from the Opera Turandot by Giacomo Puccini is one of opera's most famous arias. This arrangement utilizes a standard jazz band instrumentation, consisting of 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and rhythm section (guitar, piano, bass, drums). An optional part for background singers is also included. While the instrumental parts are very playable, the vocal part is a demanding tour de force for your singer. And it offers your big band a truly unique and powerful experience for your audiences.

By Rachel Zegler And The Covey Band. By Dave Cobb and Suzanne Collins. Arranged by Javier Soria Laso. Broadway,Film/TV,Jazz,Musical/Show,Pop,Singer/Songwriter. 57 pages. Javier Soria Laso #934588. Published by Javier Soria Laso (A0.1349823).

You've heard Nothing You Can Take From Me from the film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds And Snakes (sung by Rachel Zegler) many times, but you'll be gladly astounded to hear this big band chart that puts a spin into it with great measure! 

After a maestoso rendition of the first verse by the brass section, the drums set up the tempo into a tour de force medium fast tempo tune influenced by Duke Jordan's Jordu (recorded by the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet) & Bobby Timmons's Moanin' (recorded by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers) that while retaining much of the original tune (verse, refrain & bridge) brings out a distinctive hard bop-influenced twist coupled with solos by tenor sax & drums as well as a powerful soli by the trumpet section and a shout chorus moment by the full band. 

This chart is perfect as a concert opener, anchorer or closer, and it's another good twist of the saying something old, something new in a refreshing way. 

Enjoy!

Jazz Ensemble / Big Band - Grade 3.5

Instrumentation: Full Score; Alto Sax 1; Alto Sax 2; Tenor Sax 1; Tenor Sax 2; Baritone Sax; Trumpet 1; Trumpet 2; Trumpet 3; Trumpet 4; Trombone 1; Trombone 2; Trombone 3; Bass Trombone; Guitar; Piano; Bass; Drums.

With the arrangement of Wayne Shorter's Infant Eves, I officially start the series dedicated to the most typical orchestral ensemble in jazz: the Big Band.

The instrumentation is the traditional one: 5 saxophones, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and rhythm section (guitar, piano, double bass and drums).

After a brief introduction, in which the double bass moves freely over an orchestral accompaniment, the exposition of the initial part of theme A is entrusted to the first trombone, followed by the saxophone section and then the trumpet section (B).

This all flows into the last section of the theme (C), in a robust brass ensemble to which the saxophones respond with simple counterpoint phrases.

The last four bars, again entrusted to the saxophones, gradually lead us to the solo section.

The latter is developed over a chorus and a half, and each of the soloists is given one of the four sections (A, B, C, A): the first is by the first trombone (the arrangement's main soloist), the second by the first alto saxophone, while the third features the orchestra in a short nine-bar special, where the three sections chase and chase each other.

The final solo part is then entrusted to the second trumpet, which gives way to the orchestra for the reprise of the remaining two sections of the theme as well as the inevitable coda.

Altogether, the arrangement spans three complete choruses, plus the introduction and coda, for a total duration of just under seven minutes.

I hope you enjoy this arrangement and, as always, I wish you

Good Music!!!

Jamaica - from the CD SAZZUNK, is a Tropical composition featuring a vocalist but this arrangement has the melody written for Trumpet solo. Simple Tropical Rhythm accents for the horns in the background augment and compliment the flavor for the melody. The soring solos are transcribed so hang on to your hat as it ends with a wild and crazy line for everyone to play! Modulations of the melody push it into new levels of heat followed by a more blazing hot solo at the end!
LYRICS
I’ve gone away, far away, to find my love in Jamaica,

The sky was red, like my love, 

She’s gone away to the island,

I’ll look for her, in the wind,

That’s where she left her love for me,

And though it might take for ever,

My love for her flows endlessly,


Chasin’ all my dreams, as far as they may go,

You’re the one I love and you’re the one I need.

I’ve gone away far away, to find my love in Jamaica,

She was to me loves breath of live,

Without her I’m not whole,

I was to her, I thought the same,

She left me amidst the game,

Is there no hope for a man,

 Who’s lost his love to the wind

First adjust tempo...175 minimum. This is a montuno which is often mistaken as a samba or merengue. The bass line must be as written. The harmonic structure for the solos is indicated and is limited so the soloists must think in lines, not just a lot of notes. You must use claves full time---no claves--no Latin Music. Intonation and a relaxed feel are needed to make this swing. If there are no solos, skip letter E/EE and go to F for the 2 bar chase solos, into the cascade, rhythm section solo, quiet interlude to sign. etc.

If you want a Maynard or Buddy chart, look elsewhere. This series of charts uses nothing more complicated than eighth notes, are not frantic or screamers, extreme ranges and are hemi-demi-semi-quaver free. They depend on intonation and the players being not intimidated by what he is asked to play. There is no contest to see how high you can go before you need oxygen , how many notes you can play in 9 seconds or before your bell overheats , or how long it takes the audience to cover their ears
Relaxed and confident players always play more in tune. Good harmonies, lines and realistic rhythm patterns will produce a good result that will swing and be enjoyed by player and listener alike.
