(Level 4) RHYTHM! At least you'd better have to play this irreverent arrangement of the Richard Rodger's classic. No matter how many times you've heard it done, you've never heard it like this before. It's powerful, fast, humorous and contains a sax soli you simply won't believe. On NTSU's Lab 80. Solos for trombone, trumpet bass and drums. No sax doubles. 10 Brass

(8 Brass) (Level 4) All the elements of progressive mainstream jazz combine in this fiery composition honoring Mr. Leon Breeden and his many years of service to the jazz community. Wasting no time, this swinger goes immediately for the throat. An aggressive head gives way to wide open solo changes and a wild interchange between the wind and drums before pulling out all stops. Recorded on NTSU's Lab 88 and UNC's Alive VIII CD. No doubles.

The rhythmic interplay of vocal parts frames the melody with a nice, playful “groove” that’s fun to sing as well.

Swing-oriented piece based on a dodecaphonic row that develops into a multi-sectional form based on a handful of motives. Orchestral textures and contrapuntal treatments abound throughout this piece.

(Level IV) Bitter Jug is an uptempo swing tune featuring an original melody written over the chord changes to Fats Waller's Jitterbug Waltz. Solos can be played by any instruments, and there is a long soli workout for the saxophones. With strong melodic content in all parts, this is a chart that really allows the band to swing.

(Level IV) This is a chart for flashy
soloing.
It uses simple diatonic
chord changes (albeit in a number of keys), and it moves at a rapid pace
(MM=260).
Jazz or rock tones will
work equally well for the soloists. There are some double- and
triple stops and full chords, but they are all manageable, and all in whole
notes. Guitar 5 is largely a
rhythm part; all the voicings are written out.To allow for two soloists,
take the DS from bar 201 back to bar 75; the first and second parts swap roles,
and their parts are essentially duplicates for that stretch of the chart. The section at m210 is
call-and-response; if the players hear and feel the responses in a dotted
eighth note rhythm, it will become clear.
Timing is crucial.
