Jazz for Young People

Track 38
Take Five • Grade 2
by Paul Desmond, arr. Rich DeRosa
……………………………………$44.00 USD
Perhaps the most famous time chart of
all time, Take Five is in 5/4 but the rhythmic pattern is clear and consistent throughout.
You’ll find this arrangement very accessible
with easy alto sax and drum solos, and
modest brass ranges. Recommended for
every concert! (4:21)

Track 39
Amazing Gr ace • Grade 3
Traditional, arr. Dave Rivello
……………………………………$48.00 USD
Arranger Dave Rivello has taken this well known
traditional melody and brought it to
life with his outstanding gospel-sounding
chart. The tenor solo is written and a few
modulations keep this chart moving onward
and upward. Your jazz library needs this one.
A great chart that all will enjoy! (3:37)

Track 40
Bernie’s Tune • Grade 3
by Bernie Miller, arr. Victor Goines
……………………………………$48.00 USD
Here is a swinging chart on a great jazz
standard. It has the melody played by alto
and tenor with solos (written) for both, an
exciting ensemble build into a powerful
shout chorus and modest brass ranges. A
superb arrangement! (4:04)

Track 41
Big John’s Special • Grade 3
by Horace Henderson, arr. David Berger
……………………………………$48.00 USD
Arranger David Berger is one of the masters
at transcribing and adapting swing era jazz
charts. Big John’s Special was composed
by Horace Henderson with a light airy feel
but plenty of snap and energy throughout.
Solos are written-out for 2nd trumpet, 3rd
trumpet and 1st alto. (3:19)

Track 42
I Got Rhythm • Grade 3
by George & Ira Gershwin, arr. Wycliffe Gordon
……………………………………$48.00 USD
Everybody gets the melody in this unusual
but hip swing chart. Jazz trombonist
Wycliffe Gordon has taken this jazz
standard and worked his arranging magic.
There’s a piano or guitar solo section (can
be any soloist), a brief meter change to 3/4
and plenty of energy throughout—no one
will doze off on this chart. Clever! (2:32)
