August 2006

Dear Jazz Band Director,

Thank you for your interest in our electronic big band arrangement catalog. We are proud of this e-catalog

and feel that it is our most complete edition. Why did we go electronic? Well, in reality the cost of printing and

mailing catalogs has skyrocketed over the last couple of years, making it difficult to continue to offer our

discounted prices and depth of material. In addition, printed catalogs, by nature, are obsolete just about as

soon as they are done being printed: our website is updated daily with great new arrangements. We

encour-age you to migrate to our website for browsing and purchasing. You can view listings by title, arranger,

per-former, style, and even difficulty level. You can also search by any criterion.

Recognizing that many of you will still prefer the look and feel of a printed catalog, we came up with this

compromise - an electronic version of our annual printed catalog. Within this e-catalog you’ll find sound

samples for many of the arrangements. Just click on the musical notes next to the title and the sound sample

will play in your preferred media player. In addition, the title for each listing is a link to the same title on our

website. If you’ve found something that you want, just click on the title and add that to your basket for

checkout. We really feel that we can serve you better with this e-catalog and our website.

If you would prefer to have a printed copy of this, please phone or email us - we’re happy to run one off for

you.

In other news, we have completey re-vamped our website. In addition to a new look and feel, it is much more

user friendly and has new features that will make your browsing and shopping experience that much more

pleasant. One of the major changes is that we now have the capability of accepting orders from customers

who wish to use only a purchase order number. A credit card is not needed to complete your order. We have

established accounts in our database for all our educational customers and setup their accounts so that a

credit card is not needed. Another great new feature is that our educational customers are setup to receive

our discounted pricing on all our products. Discounts vary from 10% to 20% off the retail price. These prices

are automatic once you login. Of course, we still accept phone, fax, email, and mail orders from our

educa-tional customers. We’re so confident that you’ll be happy with your online shopping experience at

ejazzlines.com that we suggest giving it a try.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us - we pride ourselves on our timely responsiveness.

We hope you have a fulfilling Fall and Holiday Season. Thanks for your support from all of us at ejazzlines.

Best Regards,

BLUES OF A DIFFERENT COLOR

Arranged by Doug Beach and George Shutack

BLUESIN’ WITH BRADLEY

Medium Easy $42.00 Cat: 42445

The charts that have been commissioned in recent years by noted jazz educator John Bradley have proven to be very popular. Bluesin’ With Bradley should prove to be no exception. Plenty of ensemble work is contrasted with flowing melodic lines to create this exciting swing blues chart. All solos contain a written solo and rhythm section parts are completely notated. A great opener or closer.

CENTER LINE

Medium Easy $42.00 Cat: 42465

Rich in teaching opportunities, this energetic medium easy chart can be played in either the swing or shuffle styles. Suitable for an opener or closer, the solid ensemble writings create a big sound while observing the moderate brass range requirements of the series. While sample solos are provided, an open solo section allows the chance for additional solo opportunities.

CONNECTING WITH THE BLUES

Easy $42.00 Cat: 42064

Written for 12-17 players, this new Beach original provides young jazz bands with an excellent introduction to the all-important blues form. Crisp articulations, fundamental swing rhythms, and an open solo section in F concert with cued backgrounds are highlights. A sheet with written solo lines for all instruments supplements each set.

EL CENTRO

Medium $42.00 Cat: 43162

This Salsa chart is an electrifying addition to the Doug Beach catalog. Commissioned by Robert Blazek’s Youth Jazz Ensemble of DuPage, Illinois, the fiery rhythm section groove provides the foundation for strong sax and brass lines.

ESCAPE ROUTE

Easy $42.00 Cat: 42105

This straight-ahead minor blues is a rewarding journey in the swing idiom. Students should play with a solid sense of time and pay close attention to articulations for best results. Written lines are provided for the open solo section if players lack improvisation experience, and the chart features a strong finish.

FIRST LIGHT

Easy $38.00 Cat: 42117

A pensive melody and rich harmonies blend perfectly in this straight-8ths ballad for young bands. It builds gradually, starting with piano only in the first four bars, adding solo trumpet in m.5 and just about everyone else by m.16. All solo lines are entirely written, and it’s playable by bands ranging in size from 12 to 17 pieces.

GUMBO CALIENTE

Easy $42.00 Cat: 42167

All of the ingredients for a hot gumbo are present in this sizzling new Latin composition playable by 12-17 pieces. The strong rhythm groove is the foundation for a perfect blend of melody, Latin rhythms, an open solo section, and the roaring ensemble work. Stir all of the above, bring to a strong simmer, and serve HOT!

I GOT CHILI PEPPER

Medium Easy $42.00 Cat: 42603

The famous Chili Pepper saga continues! Based on rhythm changes, this spicy Latin adventure features an open solo section, a unique ensemble response, and a strong finish. Crisp horn articulations and a solid groove are essential.

LI’L LIZA JANE

Medium $42.00 Cat: 43264

BUSY WOMAN BLUES

[VOCAL]

Arranged by David Berger

JOURNAL SQUARE

Arranged by David Berger

Medium $42.00 Cat: 61385

This straight ahead shuffle in the tradition of Duke Ellington’s train songs will be a welcome addition to advancing big band literature, and is also appropriate for professional bands as well.

A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set.

ARRANGED BY ANDREW BISHOP

FUNERAL MUSIC FOR

JOBIM AND PIAZZOLLA

Arranged by Andrew Bishop

This work was commissioned to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Wichita Jazz Festival and was conceived as a piece that shifts between Bossa Nova and tango. Harmonically it mines Chopin's Prelude in E minor, op. 28, no. 4--a chord progression used by both Jobim and Piazzolla--and the title suggests a connection to Beethoven. The prevailing texture is contrapuntal in the spirit of Renaissance vocal music along with several other reworked conventions of Western concert music. It is conceived and written as a trombone feature, but additional solo parts are provided for B-flat, E-flat and other concert key instruments making this an ideal feature for guest artists and soloists ranging from flugelhorn, guitar, or even violin. The chord changes are fairly simple but require the soloist to adapt through form and feel shifts. Easy to moderate ranges for all wind instruments.

MORE THAN SUGAR

Arranged by Andrew Bishop

The title and tempo marking "apocalyptic rhumba" (medium) are reverence to Cuban music--though it is composed more in the spirit of John Coltrane and Elvin Jones rather than traditional guaguanco. The chord changes are fairly straight forward even though they require the soloist to adapt form and tempo--a layering modal pyramid for the tenor and drums to drive the soloists to the fine. The ranges are moderate-to-difficult with some ossia for trumpet 1.

ARRANGED BY MIKE CARUBIA

FUNKY JEANS

Medium Difficult $38.00 Cat: SCM-015

ARRANGED BY DAN CAVANAGH

BLACK RATTLE

NEW

Arranged by Dan Cavanagh

Difficult $65.00 Cat: 50574

Lengthy (~9:30). Up-tempo driving ECM feel/free. Rhodes piano (opt. piano). Woodwind doubles (soprano sax, clarinet/bass clarinet). Premiered at the IAJE conference in 2005, Black Rattle utilizes a ‘follow the leader’ concept. Bass trombone is the first leader: the other instruments begin their parts after the bass bone and try to ‘catch up.’ Trumpet takes over and leads the ensemble through more leader/ follower moments. The tune then counts off into an aggressive, driving melody leading to a modal trumpet solo. The backgrounds reprise earlier material, but end up pushing towards another leader/follower section featuring your drummer.

CHAOS THEORY

NEW

Difficult $55.00 Cat: 50573

Up-tempo Swing. This driving, exciting piece explores changes from stability to instability and back to stability again. Quick, explosive motifs in the beginning of the piece give way to a developing ocatonic (half-whole) melody. A lush trombone solo out of time gives way to percoLating backgrounds that build over time. Solo space for tenor sax comes next with a much more aggressive character. The piece ends with a solo contemplative piano drawn from ideas found earlier in the piece.

HAVING BUILT IN DEEPER WATER

NEW

Medium tempo, straight eights in 3/4. Woodwind doubles (clarinet/bass clarinet). One of Dan's most popular (and most performed) pieces! Starting off with pedal point C in the bass, this lush piece develops organically over time, presenting evolving representations of the same initial idea. Substantial solo space for the soprano sax and guitar and a nice overall shape to this piece make it an ideal program complement to straight-ahead swing pieces.

NORTH SOUTH

NEW

Medium $55.00 Cat: 50575

Straight eighths, medium tempo. Commissioned by saxophonist Dave Camwell, this piece features your soprano soxophonist. Starting with melodic ideas on solo soprano in the lush key of concert Gb, the band sneaks in to complement. Sweeping dynamic gestures push the tune into a new key area. The tune quickly drops back down. The modal solo section features beautiful backgrounds bubbling up from the surface, leading towards a dramatic push to the end of the piece.

PHASE SPACE

NEW

Medium $55.00 Cat: 50572

Relaxed Swing in 3/4. Phase Space is set in a relaxed mood with the melody first outlined by the lead trombone. Solo space for trumpet or trombone comes first after the melody with backgrounds sneaking in on the second chorus. Piano is allowed another solo with optional repeats. The piece ends with piano trio simply stating the melody.

SPLIT-ROCK

NEW

Difficult $55.00 Cat: 50570

Up-tempo swing. This high-energy big band piece starts off with a full ensemble shout and drops its energy down into a short piano solo. The band then enters with fragments of the main melody, using bold dynamic gestures and sharp attacks to highlight drum work. After a large build-up and statement of the tune, a tenor solo ensues with plenty of space and well-integrated backgrounds. Next comes an open drum solo after which the melody returns. This piece ends with a final burst of energy making it a great closer.

ARRANGED BY JIM CIFELLI

NOT QUITE BRAZIL

NEW

Arranged by Jim Cifelli

Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51040

Contemporary jazz Samba that offers solo space for baritone sax, flute, trumpet, piano and drums. The chord changes for both the melody and the blowing sections are inspired by Herbie Hancock's ‘Cantaloupe Island.’ Halfway through the chart the 4/4 Samba gives way to a 6/4 groove that accompanies the trumpet and piano solos. A tutti ensemble section brings the chart full circle back to 4/4 for a reprise of the melody. 5 reeds: alto 1 doubles on flute, trumpet 1 to high f#.

ARRANGED BY MATT CLANCY

BAGS’ GROOVE

Arranged by John Clayton

Difficult $60.00 Cat: 7010754

John’s arrangement of this jazz classic was written specifically to feature Milt Jackson with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra; however, just about any instrument can play the head at the beginning of the chart. Shout chorus at the end is a standout!

DAY BY DAY

John Clayton’s fierce, swinging arrangement of this familiar standard is written as a solo vehicle for tenor sax. Marvelously crafted in a kind of ‘call and response’ form between tenor and band.

EVIDENCE

Difficult $60.00 Cat: 701096

Monk was a master of composing unconventional and angular melodic lines. John Clayton provides a jagged yet stimuLating chart that features dueling trumpets and an exciting full band shout chorus. From the recording Explosive! - Milt Jackson Meets The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.

FOR ALL WE KNOW

Recorded by The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra on their CD Absolutely! this light Latin setting opens with a unique intro featuring guitar and arco bass. What follows is a lush ensemble statement with drums playing on brushes leading to an extended solo section for piano.

GROOVE SHOP

Difficult $60.00 Cat: 7010959

This John Clayton original from the CD Groove Shop explodes into a medium swing groove, then features a small group (soprano, tenor, trumpet and trombone) on the first go-round of the tune. The saxes have a soli feature and the entire ensemble helps deliver the powerful shout. Includes solos for trumpet and piano.

THE JAZZ CALLING

Difficult $60.00 Cat: 7011111

This monster chart from John Clayton was written specifically for his clinic presentation at the IAJE convention where it was rehearsed and premiered in January 2005. After the rhythm section sets the tone, the trumpets state the first ‘calling’ then pass it along to the rest of the ensemble. This amazing composition grows organically throughout as tension and release points are explored and the final climax is realized through a layering effect from section to section.

SILVER CELEBRATION

Difficult $60.00 Cat: 7011147

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’ middle section 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.

SQUATTY ROO

NEW

Advanced $60.00 Cat: 7011139

Written for the Ellington orchestra by saxophonist Johnny Hodges, this catchy riff-based tune swings hard from beginning to end. After the hard-hitting opening, solos are exchanged by tenor, trombone, trumpet and piano. In typical Clayton-Hamilton fashion, the piece roars to an exhilarating full tilt finish!

ARRANGED BY CHRIS CULVER

MONGO’S MOOD

Arranged by Chris Culver

Medium Difficult $38.00 Cat: SCM-019

Mongo’s Mood is a hip Samba with firm roots in both the blues and salsa. Chris has done a great job in keeping this at a reasonable playing level while still being quite hip. This one should fit perfectly into your balanced programming format.

ARRANGED BY BOB CURNOW

ANOTHER LIFE

Arranged by Bob Curnow

Bob Curnow is very well known for his wonderful arrangements of Metheny’s music, and this chart will only enhance that reputation. This is another superb ballad, very much in the Metheny mode. It is scored to feature flugelhorn throughout, but there are optional solo parts for alto sax or guitar available also. Pat’s recorded solo has been transcribed, and it is included. (optional 10 brass parts available).

CHILDREN OF THE SUN

This is a completely re-composed and re-notated (in Finale) version of a piece that has been in the catalog for a while. It has a Latin / fusion feel reminiscent of some early Freddie Hubbard tunes. Solo space is provided for alto sax and trumpet. The “shout” chorus which follows the solos is very exciting, and then the piece ends quietly after returning to the main theme. All ranges are very reasonable, and the chart should be playable by even young bands.

FOR THE LI’L ONES

NEW

Medium $55.00 Cat: SMP-756

Here is a wonderful ‘Basie-ish’ chart with a catchy melody set in an easy-swing tempo. Curnow has created a laid-back, swinging chart very much in the style of Sammy Nestico and others who wrote for the amazing Basie Band. Solo space for alto saxophone, swinging ensembles, moderate ranges and a cute ending make this a terrific piece to program for players of all levels. 5/4/4/4

HERE’S THAT RAINY DAY

Medium Easy $32.00 Cat: SMP-126

This is, unquestionably, one of the most beautiful ballads ever written. And this arrangement really takes advantage of the richness of the Kenton Sound. This chart captures that wonderful feeling of warmth and power without high trumpet parts or extra demanding dynamics. A great choice for festivals. (8 brass) Full score.

I’LL BE SEEING YOU

This was originally arranged as a vocal chart and has been published to also feature vocal or any one of a number of soloists (your choice). It is a lush ballad, full of rich, warm textures of the trombone section and saxophones. There is also a harmon-muted trumpet solo behind the gorgeous trombone soli on the 2nd chorus. This is the melody that is loved, and it makes a great program choice.

MOUNTAIN GREENERY (NONET)

NEW

Medium $49.00 Cat: SMP-754

Bob Curnow has created a wonderful nonet chart (6 horns, 3 rhythm) on this great Rodgers & Hart tune. The medium-swing setting features solo space for alto, tenor, flugelhorn, trombone, piano and drums. This is a great chart to do on a big band concert to rest the band and feature your soloists. This is very much patterned after the wonderful things Shorty Rogers wrote for this instrumentation (alto, tenor, baritone saxes, 2 flugelhorns, trombone, piano, bass, drums).
