SONG: Canada’s Ocean Playground,
Composed and arranged by Steve Haines.
(8 Brass) This tune was written to depict the powerful tides of Nova Scotia, Canada. The melody and soprano saxophone solo are set in 3:4, with a slow, grinding groove a la Elvin Jones. Midway through the composition, the soprano and tenor saxophone tangle together before the tenor breaks away in a new key and time signature 4:4. The solos are set in a long minor blues form. The climax occurs with a vamp for the ensemble while both the soprano and tenor battle it out together. A fun chart for any college or university band. Soprano saxophone instead of alto 1 part.

SONG: ALL UP IN THE AISLES,
Composed by John Ellis.
Arranged by Steve Haines.
This is a gospel infused, groove based odd meter tune that personifies John Ellis. A preacher’s son, Ellis’ Up in the Aisles is also cutting edge. This tune is perfect for any college or university band that is looking for negotiating odd meter improvising (oscillating between 7:4 and 4:4) in an bluesy church setting. Originally recorded by John Ellis and the UNCG Jazz Ensemble, the instrumentation is for five reeds (clarinet, alto, two tenors, and bari), four trumpets, four trombones, and rhythm section. There is a solo area for tenor saxophone I and piano, although anyone can solo. The lead trumpet range is a written high F.

SONG: L’Homard Bleu,
Composed by Mike Murley.
Arranged by Steve Haines.
This is the perfect choice for a high school big band who wants to focus on an exciting, riff based, medium Bb blues. Written in the Count Basie Orchestra style, it features both tenor players, along with trombone, although anyone can solo on this very flexible chart. The guitar part has specific instructions on how to propel the band forward with a Fred Green style. The climax featuring both tenor saxophonists, as they solo back and forth from one another. The Cobequid Educational Center Jazz Ensemble in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada commissioned this chart. The range of the lead trumpet is a written C above the staff. There are no doubles for saxophones (a,a,t,t,b), four trumpets, and three trombones (the third part can be doubled), along with guitar, piano, bass, and drums. (5:00-6:00)

SONG: Soul Mates,
Composed by Dan Haerle.
