This dreamy Brazilian samba sets the haunting melody of Chopin’s Prelude #4 as a background to a beautiful Trombone feature that takes us through a lushly-scored journey of a life well lived, as it soars to a joyous, half-time funk groove before winding back down to an introspective end will truly leave the audience floating. All rhythm parts are completely written out, with suggested solos included.

The main portion of this chart is slow swing similar to Slide Hampton's Frame for the Blues, but it is interspersed with vignettes that use all the colors of the contemporary jazz ensemble. Cascading bell-tones and a lush written Trumpet solo start the tune off which leads to the first slow swing section. A great choice for a "contrast" chart at a festival!
ZJE2302 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $60.00
The Florida Bandmasters Association commissioned this chart for the 2023 All-State Jazz ensemble. This is an authentically-written Salsa that truly fits its title, beginning with a poignant, written piano solo that transitions into a medium tempo Cuban “Son Montuno” (aka “Salsa”) before turning up the fire with an uptempo Songo groove. All rhythm parts are clearly written out.
ZJE2303 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $60.00
Commissioned by the great Waltrip High School Ram Band this Funk chart has loads of exciting and dramatic moments. It starts with the pedal to the metal and stays intense right up to the Trumpet solo at measure 87 where the whole feel changes for a slow build to next big hits with the band trading short phrases with the Drums.
