Composed by Duke Ellington and arranged by jazz arranger and transcriber, David Berger, Limbo Jazz is a calypso-
swing for the younger player. Based on the simple chord progression to Happy Birthday, the rhythm section plays a
simple even eighth note, limbo/Latin style and the winds play with a slight swing feel and it all comes together just
right! There's some neat plunger mute work too. This chart includes accessible ranges and written solos for alto sax,
trumpet and trombone along with great fun and history. It also includes optional, nontraditional parts for participation
by your concert band members. Way cool! Very highly recommended!

From the movie "The Polar Express," Hot Chocolate is hot stuff! A fun swinger in a jump style, it's loaded with energy,
based on the original recording and has been skillfully adapted for the young player. There are no solos, the ranges
are modest and a driving bass line makes it move along. To make this chart flexible for all year, the arranger offers
two endings: one with a clever and effective modulation to a Jingle Bells quote and one without. Highly

You'll remember this recent Mariah Carey hit of the version by the Jackson 5 in the '70s. This arrangement should
appeal to young players and audiences alike. Straightforward writing for big sounds!

Dave's interpretation of the Duke Ellington standard is right on target for developing jazz ensembles. It really kicks!
Excellent festival material.

The trumpet soloist starts alone with this memorable melody and soon draws the entire ensemble into Carl
Strommen's easy arrangement. Although the band get its say, it is the trumpet soloist who sustains right to the end.
An excellent trumpet feature.

You are going to like this one! PROUD MARY has been with us since the early '70s, but not in an arrangement such
as this. This one SHOUTS, it's so good! Among the best from Dave Wolpe.

Henry Mancini's classic gets a face lift from Dave Wolpe. Easy to recognize, easy to play, and easy to rehearse, this
one's a jazz ensemble director's dream.

Here's an accessible holiday chart that's set in a rock groove with a completely notated solo section for any of the
horns. There's also an optional written-out drum set solo. An easy-to-prepare and fun holiday chart, this one also
features some easily spoken "Who Let the Elves Out?" chants. A very contemporary and cool groove for your holiday
concert! Highly recommended!
