A moderate tempo 'swinger' in the blues form that begins and ends with the sax section by itself. Also, a nice solo spot for your piano player (or guitarist) in the middle of the tune.

A straight ahead swinger in the style of the 1950's Count Basie band. Solos for alto and trumpet.

A swing tune reminiscent of the Sammy Nestico style that features the trumpet section in unison for the initial statement of the theme. It has a great, swingin' sax soli that goes up to an altissimo A...

As the title emplies, there's some pent-up anxiety in this tune. Sort of monkish at times. There's a harmonically interesting sax soli with soprano lead. Also, a nice spot to feature your piano player...

A nice shuffle tune that would be a great feature for your guitarist and trombone soloist. Form is blues with a four bar extension.
