Blues on Hawthorn Road, by Dan Keberle
(Level IV) Blues on Hawthorne Road is an original by Dan himself in the style of Count Basie to offer genuine big band music most suitable for advanced high school and college bands. This F blues features a simple but memorable melody supported by a swing shuffle feel, an absolutely essential style to be known in jazz repertoire. Two “sparse” choruses feature fragments of themes and motifs between sections, then a solo section backed by bluesy background figures, followed by an exciting shout chorus.   Hawthorne Road is the home of Whitworth University’s Music Department in Spokane, Washington. 8 Brass

Struttin', by David Caffey

This medium-tempo shuffle swings hard from beginning to end. The head of the tune is scored for a small group within the big band including two trumpets (one player on optional flugelhorn), tenor and bari sax. This main theme is somewhat reminiscent of those great old Blue Note records from the 1950s and 60s. Lead trumpet will have to handle high Ds and Es and, for that matter, no one can sit back and relax. Several key changes occur along the way in the typical Caffey tradition and serve as pleasant diversions from the expected; the harmonic progression is also deceptive. Just when you are convinced the music is based on a Bird blues formula, the composer adds a new twist. Nothing seems to be missing from this chart including a nice shout chorus, sax soli, clean unison writing, accurate articulation and dynamic markings, and a strong finish. This chart should be of interest to those in need of a good, straight-ahead and demanding concert number. Recorded by the Cal State L.A. Jazz Ensemble on The New In You.

Amazing Grace, by Bill 'Orange' Lyons
(Level III) This traditional gospel, shuffle arrangement with jazz harmonies is sure to satisfy. The larger the ensemble, the better this one will sound. The 6/8 meter keeps the gospel flow, and the harmonic structure will keep the jazz ears awake with its reharmonization. The opening and closing solo melody may be as free as your gospel ear desires.
