Samba (1/2 note = 120). Dedicated to Sonny Rollins. Solo feature for alto, trumpet or trombone using nothing more than I, IV, & V chords in F major and relative minor. One full chorus for the soloist...

This chart starts out in a blaze of excitement and never eases off. It features tenor sax and trombone on the melody, with solo space for alto and trumpet as well. This was featured on the famous Mess...

As commissioned (and recorded) by the SWR Big Band of Stuttgart, Germany, this is a lovely, easy-flowing piece that moves from a ballad (lullaby) to a waltz (featuring trombone and alto saxophone) and...

This is a beautiful chart, with a unique feel. Chart opens with a warm chorale melody, then evolves into an ethereal, straight-eighth (mm=140) ECM-ish feel. Solo changes are included for tenor and tru...

Here's a medium-up tempo modal chart that your band (and audience) will really enjoy. A contemporary head sits on top of an ostinato in open fifths, while the drummer keeps things energized with Elvin...

A great opener: a hard-driving minor blues shuffle always gets the crowd in the right mood. Your tenor player has a short bluesy cadenza at the top and again at the end, and is also featured on the so...

The second and more difficult of the two 'Sassy's'. This one mirrors Thad's original in form and style. Slightly richer voicings than SCM-001 but not an overly high lead trumpet part.

Constructed to highlight the tenor sax solo, Thad has once again created a masterpiece from the time honored blues in F major.

A real Thad Classic made accessible by Mike Carubia. Higher brass notes removed, sax soli re-scored & it still sounds like Thad.

Med. Fast Blues in Bb.

Medium fast modern swing chart with lots of unison and ensemble passages making this very playable.

Another D-flat blues, but this one's more laid back (as the title might imply) OI' th' Pocket' tempo (quarter note = 108-112); the chart starts the same as the one recorded on Roulette Records, Easin'...
