A wonderful introduction to modal jazz for the beginning ensemble. This contemporary sounding chart is based on the chord changes of Miles Davis’ iconic “So What” and offers lots of melodic and counter-melodic material. An easy swing tempo of 138bpm makes this an excellent chart for beginning improvisers, and written solos are provided with chord changes for all players. Trumpet range to written top space E in the staff.

Got Rhythm? Tyler Mire gives us a swinging take on the chord changes from Gershwin's classic "I Got Rhythm" at a very accessible tempo of 174bpm. Solo space for trumpet and trombone, but this can be opened for any and all - a great teaching tool. a 32 bar sax soli is punctuated by the brass before a second solo space for guitar a/o piano. The ensemble then "trades 2's" with the drums - yet another solo opportunity - before returning to the bridge and shout section. Trumpet range is to written high C, trombone to F.

A high energy samba that opens with a piano riff that sets up the groove and alto/trpt melody. After a trumpet section fanfare interlude, the saxes move into the B section. The trombones restate the piano riff to set up the improvised alto sax solo. The pianist returns to the spotlight with a 16 bar montuna that leads into a modulation that launches the shout section. One last return to the intro riff builds to an exciting ensemble unison climax. Trumpet range is to written high D (once), high C (once), otherwise, high Bb. Trombone to F.
