This chart covers all the bases from the opening rock guitar riff to the sax soli quote of Miles Davis” solo on So What and back again. A great showcase for the entire band. Solos for tenor sax (swing), drums (rock), and guitar (rock god status) as the chart drives to its energetic conclusion.

A medium slow 12 bar blues in the Basie tradition - accessible figures that swing hard. At 120bpm the band can focus on the swing style and really making the shout chorus SHOUT.

Bkgds the last time through lead to a big ensemble shout chorus. Trumpet range is to written High C. Trombone range is to G.

A perfect “My First Solo Feature” chart, this rock ballad opens with lush ensemble harmonies before the soloist enters with the hauntingly beautiful melody. The ensemble soon wraps itself in warm supportive colors before launching the soloist into the short improvisational section. A written solo is provided, along with the chord changes. After a brief return to the melody, the chart moves on to the Coda section where there is space for a brief solo cadenza – a written one is provided – before the final resolution chord. Trumpet range is to a written G. Flugelhorns are preferred, but trumpets are fine, too.

This is essentially the same chart as the Alto Sax Feature, however some of the parts have been rearranged slightly to accommodate the change in soloists. For this version, the melody, solo, and solo cadenza have been lowered an octave to better fit the range of the instrument.
The video shows the score and audio from the alto sax version.
