 ![Floating Home [Jazz Ensemble]](/Master/images/Product/icon/1026-00-30656.jpg) |
Floating Home [Jazz Ensemble]
Features:
It’s a jazz-reggae groove composed and arranged by Gordon Goodwin for the Big Phat Band. Lead alto sax is written for soprano sax, and solos are available for soprano, alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone. Floating Home is not technically difficult but the lead trumpet range is a challenge, as you would expect with Gordon’s charts. This is a somewhat mellow chart but has energy and punches. As performed by the Big Phat Band. (1:27)

Hit the Ground Running [Jazz Ensemble]
Features:
It’s funky with all the Big Phat Band attributes, and it’s fairly tough to play, but hey, it’s Gordon and you know it will be a hot chartif you have the horses. The opening lick for piano is really hot. The rhythm section will stay busy and it includes an auxiliary percussion part. Solo space is for alto, tenor, bari, trumpet and trombone. Open with this chart! (4:55)

Punta del Soul [Jazz Ensemble]
Features:
Tasty and groovy with a funky Latin vibe, this tune is composed by Dave Grusin and arranged by Gordon to feature Dave and guitarist Lee Ritenour on the recent Big Phat Band CD, Act Your Age. If you have a piano and guitar player to showcase, this is a wonderful chart. While not technically difficult, the dynamics and colors are key aspects of this arrangement. There is an optional flute on 2nd alto and optional bass clarinet on bari sax, but sax parts are provided. As recorded by the Big Phat Band! (5:04)

 ![Watermelon Man [Jazz Ensemble]](/Master/images/Product/icon/1026-00-30652.jpg) |
Watermelon Man [Jazz Ensemble]
Features:
This classic Herbie Hancock composition has become one of the most well-known songs in jazz history. Gordon Goodwin wanted to do something a little different in his arrangement without violating the spirit and intent of the original version, so he scored it as a jazz shuffle that screams excitement. Solis, big ensemble, modulations and solo space for alto, tenor, bari, trumpet 4 and trombone will give all the flex space you need. As recorded on Gordon’s newest CD, Act Your Age get it while it’s hot! (5:28)
