(Level 5) This is a burning fast, wordless, very challenging modern bebop head as recorded by the Yellowjackets on Four Corners. The melody may be divided up into several small groups for variety and relief! Other than the unison and two-part head, there is a "shout chorus" and an improv section that may be opened up. Your rhythm section is key to making this one work in light of the burning swing tempo (almost straight-eight) that must be maintained. Well worth the hard work it takes to learn if your group is really ready for a challenge! SSAA with rhythm section.

Trial Run (Level IV) “Trial Run” was named the winner of the 2010 Jazz Education
Network Student Composition Showcase and the 2011 United States Air Force Sammy
Nestico Award.
This fast swing
chart uses extensive non-functional harmony, drawing on the harmonic techniques
of early 20
th-century classical music.It also utilizes various mixed section groupings set against
each other, emphasizing blend and tuning between the various sections of the
ensemble.
The funk/blues-based
guitar solo affords the soloist a rare opportunity to use distortion, while the
tenor solo presents a challenge to a soloist of any ability level.

(Level V) This arrangement was commissioned by its composer, Glenn
Wilson, in 2009.
To create this
composition, Glenn morphed the source song “If I Only Had a Brain” using two
jazz classics, “Giant Steps” and “Seven Steps to Heaven” to create this
piece.
Because of the inherent
humor found in the original song and Glenn’s treatment of it, I sought to take
the humor further with this arrangement.
This rowdy arrangement makes extensive use of metric modulation and
quotes from other songs found in the “Wizard of Oz”.

(Level IV) for band, V for soloists (8 Brass, lead trumpet high D written) A fast swing tune arranged in the same style as recorded by Dexter Gordon on his album Doin’ Alright. This chart features Dexter Gordon’s solo arranged as a sax section soli, followed by alto 1 and tenor 1 solos, and culminating with the two trading fours over very nice full band background support. There is also an unaccompanied chorus with just the two soloists before going back to the head. If you have strong bebop soloists in the alto 1 and tenor 1 chairs, this is a great chart to showcase them together.

(Level IV) Big Band in Three, 8 Brass
View all charts by Jack Cooper
|
(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.

(8 Brass) An original composition based on the changes to the classic Cherokee. It is in a double-time samba feel which shifts into a fast swing for 32 bars. The saxophone parts are a bit high, but playable. The rhythms are a bit tricky, and if desired, could be simplified somewhat.

(8 Brass) This piece was the winner of the 2007 BMI Foundation Charlie Parker Composition Prize. It has been built on three themes that are announced in the introduction and manipulated throughout the composition. The arch form (intro, A, B, C, piano solo, C, B, A, coda) and tonal arrangement (centricity around D) have been inspired by the string quartets of Bela Bartok. This piece moves through Even 8th, Fast Swing and Latin time feels as well.
