Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1025915 By Tony Bennett & Amy Winehouse. By John Green. Arranged by Evan Osborne. A Cappella. Score and parts. 13 pages. Evan Osborne #5362579. Published by Evan Osborne (A0.1025915). This lovely arrangement of Body and Soul includes a diverse range of sections. Starting with a duet with the tenor trombone and tenor horn, the arrangement evolves into a smoky jazz ballad, with the horns paying homage to the big band style. Chord changes for an improvised solo over the form are on each part and the solo then continues into a latin-bossa section. The horns then accompany the trumpet in a brief horn-a-cappella section before the trumpet returns back to the tune and finishes off the form. Some magical and exciting moments, perfect for a recital, or a performance at a jazz club.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1472109 By The Beatles. By John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by Mike Dana. Jazz,Latin,Pop. 66 pages. Mike Dana Music #1049808. Published by Mike Dana Music (A0.1472109). About the piece: Welcome to the second chart I’ve done on a Beatles tune! I guess, because the first one (Can’t Buy Me Love) went so well, I had to keep it going ? (shameless plug alert: CBML is available from both sheetmusicdirect.com and sheetmusicplus.com.) And I Love Her is a great tune, and I tried to find some creative ways to expand on that. It features your most lyrical flugel player, and you’ll need woodwind doubles: 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, and bass clarinet.  Ensemble: This is pretty straightforward: even 8th, bossa-ish vibe. Trumpets 1, 3, and 4 are on flugels full-time, except for the harmon trumpet bit in mm. 70-75. I feel the 5/4 bars as 2+3, and would conduct accordingly. Overall, think mellow, understated, warm/fuzzy on this.  Rhythm Section: I really hear nylon string guitar on this, so please ask your guitarist to bring the extra axe. ?  Piano, guitar, and bass: If there’s a notated paty without chord symbols, please play as written. If it’s chord symbols only, play/comp tastefully, as always. If there are both, you can do either. If the written part supports the ensemble, I’d suggest going that route. I LOVE having guitar and vibes in the rhythm section, but in general I’m not a big fan of having them play off of the same part. So, please observe the “play only if no guitar (or vibes etc.) indications. Drums, I’ve indicated some basic grooves (note the feel change in the bridge) but I trust you. Just keep things tasty and understated. Solo Section: Flugel solo…after the first read-through, you’ll know when it’s just you on the melody, and when your part is doubled. Feel free to play more expressively on the former. There are some short snippets of changes mixed in with the melodic statements; think of these more like fills than the official “solo section” which is mm. 50-80, the AAB of the form. Don’t swing for the fences in spots like mm. 44-48; instead, float on top of the ensemble sound. And, keep things simple from n. 91 out. ? As of this writing, I don’t have a recording of this, other than the MIDI demo. If you end up with a nice recording and would be OK sharing that with me, please reach out!

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1234212 By Andy Williams. By Harry Warren and Mack Gordon. Arranged by John Yao. Instructional,Jazz,Standards. 89 pages. Yaotones Music #829743. Published by Yaotones Music (A0.1234212). This hard swinging, up tempo arrangement is written in the style of the Count Basie Orchestra.  It starts out small with a Piano solo and builds throughout with additional solos in the Trumpet, Tenor Sax, and Trombone. The chart features simple unisons and 4-way closed textures and reads straight down easily with plenty of challenging ensemble passages throughout.  There's a lot of sectional writing and moments when the brass and woodwinds oppose one another.  After a temporary modulation to a new key for the Trombone solo, the piece returns to the original, customary key of Eb Major.  Following the solos, the chart climaxes on a big, tutti shout chorus exchange with the drums and a final big chord.  This arrangement works great at the end a set or concert program or even as an opener.Trumpet Range - Db6Trombone Range - A4The YT Link track is performed by NYC based big band John Yao and His 17-piece Instrument.To view other arrangements by John Yao, please visit Sheet Music Plus, Sheet Music Direct, or Ejazzlines.For more info or questions, please visit www.johnyao.com or email me at john@johnyao.com.  Follow me on Instagram, Facebook or subscribe to my You Tube Channel.

The mission of Midnight Travels is to capture the musical style, character and driving rhythms that set the premise for the genre of spy films and detective television shows that were so popular in the 1960s and 70s.  Should you choose to accept it, this work is intended for college jazz band and/or professional ensemble but does not disavow other musical agents.Midnight Travels is a highly chromatic work that features an intense bassline ostinato driven by tritones, a sax solo written with angular intervals, and a chord structureâ??â??spy chordsâ?�â??derivative of the minMaj9 chord found in John Barry's arrangement of Monty Normanâ??s notable James Bond theme.  It closes with a shout chorus (without chaos) and horn tutti that will have the band and audience excited for the next assignment.Midnight Travels made its debut as a studio recital piece, tying for first place at the annual Ohio Universityâ??s composition contest, Composition Slam.  Missed it by that much!
