Young Jazz Ensemble – Grade 3Beatles songs often work well in surprising settings. Mark Taylor takes this Lennon and McCartney favorite and transforms it into a swingin' jazz waltz! After a short unison riff sets upthe style the tenor soloist takes over. The brass handle the bridge followed by a written or ad lib. solo for tenor and a marvelous chorus for the full ensemble. Unique and effective!

This wonderful standard from the '30s receives a fresh and inviting treatment in the hands of John Berry. Featuring a medium swing style that alternates with sections of Latin creative harmonies and skilled ensemble scoring this contemporary chart will work great for any occasion. Includes solos for trumpet and tenor.

This is NOT the '60s pop hit recorded by Bobby Vee but the classic jazz standard recorded by luminaries such as John Coltrane Paul Desmond and Horace Silver (and originally the theme song of the 1948 film noir starring EdwardG. Robinson). Here's a great sounding Latin style setting creatively scored for young players with beautiful lines and countermelodies. Includes solos for alto sax and trombone.

Similar to the style of the original recording by John Coltrane Mike Tomaros chart for six horns is a smooth-sounding uptempo swing chart. Great scoring in the Little Big Band format.

Commissioned by the US Army Jazz Ambassadors this arrangement by Eric Richards shines new light on the beauty and depth of the classic Beatles hit. An up-tempo Brazilian groove gives way to hints of samba and songo but alwayswith a smooth and laidback feel. Piano solo is featured off the top followed by a trio of tenor trombone and guitar on the head and later solo space for one or more of these players. A brief nod to the classical feel of theoriginal Beatles track helps build to aclimactic shout for the full ensemble. Nice!

Here is an impressive burner based on the Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer standard. The elongated melody in the beginning is interspersed with solo drum fills. Solo space is included for piano and tenor with outstanding backgroundsfrom the full ensemble. Meant to be played as fast as you dare this deserves a feature spot on your program.
