Based on the traditional God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, this samba treatment cooks. After a short chorale intro, the samba rhythm kicks in either cut time or bright-four groove. Written-out solos are provided for alto 1 and trombone 2 but cued for trombone 1 plus a drum and/or percussion solo. A nice shout chorus and optional auxiliary percussion part complete this excellent arrangement. (3:08)

A memorable addition to any holiday program, the piece is sure to be a favorite of audiences and performers alike.

A contemporary treatment of this traditional jazz tune, arranger and band director Mike Kamuf combines multiple generations in one chart. With a shuffle groove, the opening melody is stated by alto, tenor, trumpet and optional guitar in fourths. Some countermelody development, solo space (written) for tenor and trumpet, then an interlude that builds big time into a powerful shout chorus to bring it home. It's a happening chart. (4:04)

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.

As an homage to the great Count Basie, composer/arranger David Berger delivers just what the title says---this chart is truly Stompin' on a Riff. Features include a piano intro, a sax section melody and some brass, written solos for 2nd trumpet and 1st alto, a modulation, some piano fills, another modulation and a diminuendo into the shout chorus. This chart swings hard---you'll love it! (3:41)

This excellent blues chart in the Basie style uses the keys of G, A-flat, E-flat, and A-flat. The written solos for piano, trumpet, and alto sax include changes and fit the style well. The writing includes a great shout chorus and some neat plunger work for the trumpets

The opening motive is very catchy in this authentic-sounding chart on Chicago's rock classic. This accessible, fun jazz ensemble chart includes brief solos for trumpet 1, trombone 1, and optional guitar with easy brass ranges, too. Easy to play, but still a hard-driving chart.

Students will enjoy playing this classic.
