Small Band Jazz

Arrangements	Swing Tunes for Smaller Ensembles
JAZZ, Big Band JAZZ, Fusion Ensembles JAZZ, Small Swing Bands and Combos	Abigale - Eddie Carr For vocal backed by a three-horn section (tpt/sax/bn). A fun story about a little girl born during a Florida hurricane and growing up to be a stormy swing dancer herself. In C minor. $45.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample) Special Note: this is a test recording of the very first rehearsal at which this tune was read down. No other recording survived the short yet amazing career of the swing band, Heavy Eddie And The Phat Tones!
LATINO & ESPANOL MARCHING BAND	Boston Baked Blues - Eddie Carr This is a piece that will not be too hard to put together. If you want a nice C-jam blues for a band that is "coming along," this will do great!  $35.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample) Coming soon.
	Decarboxylation - Jeff Novotny A tenor sax feature with combo (trumpet, alto sax, bari sax, trombone, rhythm), in a medium swing style. Contains solos for all instruments. Chords are fairly simple and straightforward, navigable by an intermediate-level group. $35.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample)
	The Diels-Alder Reaction - Jeff Novotny A light, easy jazz waltz floating between one-beat and walking style. For guitar, piano, bass, and drums, with solos adaptable for any instrument. Fairly easy chord changes; intermediate level. $35.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample)
	Eddie's Blues - Eddie Carr A fun shuffle that is a blues but with an 8-bar bridge.  $35.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample) Coming soon.
	I Won't Roam - Eddie Carr For male vocal backed by a trio. The song is about a swing band member resisting the charms of a nice young lady when another waits at home. $45.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample) Coming soon.
	L’Epoisses - Jeff Novotny A French-style waltz, scored for a group resembling a French street band: accordion, violin, clarinet, trombone, and rhythm section. A lot of polyphonic interaction between the parts, and solos for multiple players. Something different! $35.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample)
	Open Your Arms - Eddie Carr A vocal backed by a horn section of trumpet, sax, and trombone, in E Minor. The lyrics are very cool, very "film noire," and it includes and ensemble break that goes from cool finger-snapping to shouting.  $45.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample) Coming soon.
	The Plane To Lisbon - Eddie Carr Here's another great vocal tune that evokes one of the "characters" from the movie Casablanca, the airplane to Lisbon that was so central to ending of the film. The song's story goes a different way - there's a line about singing the wrong song to the wrong girl and a Sheik of Araby wanting someone's head on a plate - but it would be easy to assume that it's the intriguing story of one of the other passengers. $35.00	Hear It (Streaming Sample) Coming soon.
