Saints
Composed and Arranged by Jim Martin
This is a funky version of the classic tune, When The Saints Go Marchin In. Suitable for basketball games or rallies. Have your jazz ensemble read it down to help with dotted sixteenth rhythms and to play in a groove.

This chart can be played "as is" or repeated and solos added where needed. Your band will enjoy playing this one. Take a listen to a college band reading through this chart.

PRICE $9.95

 


After Dark
Composed by Jim Martin

After Dark is a fun little chart based on the old Van Morrison tune Moondance. Its set in a swing style and will work well with the young jazz ensemble and or pep band. No solos are written but the chart could be opened up if soloists really want to blow, just repeat the form.

PRICE: $9.95
