A classically constructed piece with a jazz attitude. The tonal language has more to do with 20th century chamber music than jazz. The rhythmic language, the phrasing, and the articulation come more from jazz than from the classical area, although at times the piece could go either way. Instrumentation: 4 saxophones (SATBar)

A unique feature for your tenor saxophone soloist. In typical McNeely style the writing in this chart grows and develops in an organic, natural manner. The interaction between the band and the soloist and the through composed character of the piece makes this chart a standout. Instrumentation: 5 saxophones (SATTBar) with piano, guitar (ad lib), double bass, percussion

A hands-on, first-of-its-kind workbook which encourages practice of this often-overlooked aspect of jazz piano playing. It provides specific suggestions and chord voicings for each tune; CD features both demonstration and play-along tracks. Instrumentation: piano

The tenor saxophone and piano are featured soloists in this “jazz classic.” Professionals as well as school bands will have fun with this medium swing chart. Originally written for saxophones, this arrangement works equally well using the optional parts for a trumpet/flugelhorn and trombone. Instrumentation: 5 saxophones (SATTBar) with piano, guitar (ad lib), double bass, percussion

Originally a feature for solo vocal but the chart also sounds great as a flügelhorn or tenor feature. If you are looking for an arrangement with contemporary, yet warm colors, don’t look any further, this is it. Instrumentation: big band with solo-voice
