Notes (This chart features..., etc.)

Superb, young middle school band chart. Very playable, nice lines, and a sassy feel.

Excellent chart for middle school to teach concepts. Plenty of ensemble and soli work.

Sassy shuffle blues base in F.

Good beginning of year chart to teach fundamentals.

Nice jazz ensemble treatment on this classic tune from West Side Story.

Great, playable chart on Trane's tune - Bb blues base. Sax soli is some of Coltrane's solo, but accessible! Nice contrasts as well.

Drum feature with brushes around ensemble tutti's. Classic Basie chart!

Trumpet Feature

Tenor & trombone on Stanley tune, nice shout chorus

Classic tune. Accessible chart. Groove appeals to kids. Add vibes to add that tonal color.

Trumpet/tenor duo at front and end. Nice contrasting sections. Well written chart at this level. Kids love to work on it!

Basie-esque with ensemble, piano fills, shout, drum sparks, not fast. Great teaching chart!

Written in slowish Basie ensemble groove. Tremendous teaching vehicle, as is the case with all of Strommen's charts. Phrasing, unified articulation, triplet subdivision needing to underpin the groove, drum integration...

Easier version of orginal Basie classic. Still, all of the ingredients including sax soli, dynamic contrast, and shout with drum space in between ensemble phrases.

Sassy Ernie Watts tune. Great groove. Tenor/bone on melody. Contrasting textures.

Essential Basie literature.

Tenors...Playable chart on Brubeck tune. Lots of style consideration and points of contrast.

Essential literature from Thad Jones-Mel Lewis library. Med swing blues, soprano sax lead on alto 1, ensemble interjections, dynamic surprises. Bass player featured on walking line. Classic chart!

From the Kenton library. Essential literature. Minor blues form. Gotta have trombones!
