(Trumpets with Attitude) Tangerine and Tequila.

From the group Journey this power ballad from 1981 has enjoyed renewed popularity thanks to the hit TV series Glee as well as multiple uses in film and even on Broadway. Sure to be a hit again!

Popular again thanks to the recent recording by Michael Bublé this hit was originally from the Broadway musical The Roar of the Greasepaint The Smell of the Crowd. This bluesy arrangement requires no solos butgives each section of the band a chance to be featured.

In honor of Horace Silver's 75th birthday John Clayton serves up this special celebration of swing. The opening statement by trumpet and tenor is balanced nicely with full ensemble backgrounds. In the ?airy? middlesection of this uniquely crafted chart the rhythm section loosens up a bit and solos are offered for trombone and drums. The groove then returns and churns all the way to the finish.

Includes: On Broadway Barbara Ann Birth Of The Blues Mack The Knife Night And Day One Moment In Time. Includes accompanimnet CD.

Primarily known by the version by George Benson this classic tune is always a favorite. Mike's easy version features the trademark medium rock groove and some interesting harmonies to really bring it to life. Solos (with only 2chords) can be played by any instrument. Great for beginners!

De toutes les chanteuses importantes de la fin du XXe siècle Nina Simone (1933-2003) est l?une des plus inclassables. Naviguant dans les eaux de la soul du jazz et de la pop elle se glisse aussi facilement dans le blues le gospel ou les musiques de Broadway. Son interprétation extraordinaire du titre Feeling Good co-signé par Anthony Newley et Leslie Bricusse a inspiré de nombreuses reprises dont celles du groupe Muse Michael Bublé et plus récemment George Michael.
