Body & Soul, by Jack Cooper
(Level V) This Cole Porter classic is arranged by Jack Cooper as a big band arrangement with full score (not condensed) and all parts. Usually performed as a ballad, Cooper revamps this song as an up-tempo in triple meter (3/4 or 6/8,) felt as a waltz. Metrically and stylistically different, it still preserves the lighthearted qualities of the song’s charisma itself. Trumpets double on flugelhorn. 10 Brass

The Stakeout, Scott Arcangel

(Level IV) The Stakeout, by Scott Arcangel. An aggressive and hardboppish up-tempo powerhouse, for the classic pairing of trumpet and tenor.  Highlights include a clever intro, a “mooing” trombone interlude and an intense shout section which features the drummer soloing around powerful ensemble writing.  A showcase for the ensemble as well as trumpet & tenor soloists, The Stakeout makes a great opener or closer.  Lead trumpet up to high G.  Recorded by the West Point Band’s Jazz Knights on the CD At First Light. (8 Brass)

Sketching Restraint, by Tyler Gilmore


(Level IV) Sketching Restraint A minor-tinged medium-up swinger with modern jazz inflections and rock intensity, this chart was a winning entry in the 2009 ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Award.  The piece is written to feature a trumpet soloist with strong range, but includes alternate feature parts for guitar or soprano saxophone that work equally as well.  It can be heard on The Ninth+Lincoln Orchestra’s debut CD. (8 Brass)

Recurring Doppelganger Phenomena, by Jim Olsen

(8 Brass) (Level 5) 12-tone big band music? What else would you expect with this title? A twisting intro with saxes and drums introduces an equally convoluted head. The brass gets their shot at the tune before trombone I solos. A hard-boppish line for trumpet and tenor is next, introducing a trumpet solo. The sax soli that follows is one of the more unusual around; starting out with solo soprano and gradually adding the rest of the section. Some call-and-response for the band and drums, a reprise of the head and a final held chord complete a challenging but fun chart. Featured on the CD, Fragments.

The Shining Path, by Jim Olsen
(9 Brass)(Level 4) An up-tempo modal-ish burner that was inspired by Jim McNeely's Off the Cuff (thanks, Jim!). This is a challenging and exciting chart. After a head that includes some rhythmically demanding backgrounds, tenor sax I gets to blow over the alternating pedal point/changes form of the tune. There's a tricky contrapuntal interlude before the trumpet soloist enters, accompanied at first by a unison trumpet soli. After that, and an "Ives"-ian breakdown, hang on for the long ensemble build up to the recap. A little bit of call and response with the drums, a final spiky chord and you're done! Lead alto doubles on soprano sax.

Moleids, by Chuck Owen
(8 Brass) (Level 4) Wild, powerful and occasionally off-the-wall, this piece provides a Weather Report-like setting for some unusual and very effective scoring. The trumpet and tenor sax have plenty of opportunity to get "out there" over a churning swing solo section before the final "out" chorus simply blows everyone away. Alto I - Sop/Fl; Alto II - Fl/Picc; Tenor I - Fl; Tenor II & Bari - Fl.

In The Tradition, by Steve Owen

(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.

I've Got What?, by Steve Owen

(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 belive. On NTSU's Lab 80. Solos for trombone, trumpet bass and drums. No sax doubles. 10 Brass
