Grade 4 Jazz Ensemble Sheet Music

Mike Lewis's Sing, Sing, Sing remains the most widely adopted title in this collection, followed closely by Eddie Harris's Cold Duck Time and Alan Baylock's El Abrazo. These three are the pieces teachers use year after year, whether for festival preparation or concert programming.

Rob Vuono Jr. contributed Quiscalus Quiscula, a new jazz ensemble arrangement added in December 2024.

Dave Wolpe has been composing and arranging since 1965, with work for the Glenn Miller Orchestra and credits on the platinum CD In the Christmas Mood. His 'Round Midnight remains a popular choice among teachers, and his 39 arrangements in this collection show why he's a consistent resource for ensemble directors. Wolpe's arrangements are built on deep familiarity with the jazz repertoire and decades of professional scoring.

Alan Baylock directs the Grammy-nominated One O'Clock Lab Band at the University of North Texas and spent 20 years as Chief Arranger for the United States Air Force Band's Airmen of Note. His Cold Duck Time is among the best-selling titles here, and his 33 arrangements reflect both his jazz credentials and his direct experience with what works in the ensemble classroom.

Jeff Hest is a prolific arranger and composer in the New York City studio scene with hundreds of national commercials, over 40 albums, and Broadway and film scoring credits to his name. His Moonlight Serenade arrangement has found a steady audience with teachers, and his background in both commercial and jazz contexts gives his work a versatility that transfers well to the teaching studio.
