LAZY SUNDAY is an original composition for big band and featured as a set piece (originally entitled CARNE ASADA) for the 2007 Prestige Music Festival of Music B Grade Jazz Ensemble division.

This chart is a smooth Bossa Nova, inspired by the food and setting at a laid back BBQ session in a park in the heart of Palm Springs on a beautiful spring day. Work to develop a smooth ensemble sound and be careful to place rhythms accurately.  

Solo space is provided for the 1st Alto Sax, 4th Trumpet, and 1st Trombone players. The changes in the solo section are quite challenging and will need to be carefully prepared. All rhythm section parts are fully notated for younger players. 

Trumpet players will need harmon mutes and are required to double on Flugel. If flugelhorns are not available, have the trumpets play into the stand or use bucket mutes.  Likewise, the Trombones require bucket mutes but may play in stand if these are not available.  

I hope you enjoy performing this piece and have the opportunity to enjoy some BBQ in Palm Springs one day!

Broad River Blues is an easy level jazz enssmble blues chart in Bb. I wrote this chart for the Madison County (GA) Middle School Jazz Band a couple of years ago and named it after the river that I would cross each morning as I entered that county on my way to the school from home. All rhythm section parts are fully notated in this chart, but these serve as suggestions and tools for building improvisation and comping skills. The same can be said for the written solos for tenor sax, trumpet, and trombone. Each solo section can easily be opened / extended for improvisation. I hope you and your young jazz ensemble enjoy Broad River Blues!

Sometimes shadows can be scary to those of us with vivid imaginations, but in this case they provide a fun opportunity to play and create jazz music! This original chart for young jazz ensemble provides nearly everyone in the band with room to improvise if desired. Sample / suggested solos are included on many of the parts.
