Why we love this

This chart strikes the rare balance of being genuinely playable for first-year jazz ensembles while sounding completely professional. The written solos give your students concrete models to learn from rather than leaving them adrift, and the straightforward arrangement lets your section players focus on tone and swing feel without drowning in complexity.

What to expect

Bright, energetic, and built on the bones of classic swing. The groove feels authentic without overwhelming young players, and the 160 BPM clip keeps the ensemble moving forward with genuine momentum.

Who it's for

First-year jazz ensemble students who need a confidence-building chart with real swing energy. Directors launching a new jazz program or bolstering early-level ensemble repertoire will find this exactly at the right difficulty level.

How to get the most out of it

Lock in the tempo at 160 BPM from the first rehearsal. A metronomic pulse matters more here than in classical charts; use a click track in early rehearsals so students internalize the swing eighth-note feel.
Balance the alto and trumpet 1 melody line carefully during the head. These voices need to blend as a single melodic unit before solos begin.
Address the trumpet 1 high passages with precision during section rehearsals. The written E-flat top space demands confidence; work through the passage slowly before bringing it up to tempo.
Feature your section players' solos generously. These written solos are gifts for building confidence in young improvisers; treat them as spotlight moments in rehearsal and performance.

How to use it

Program this as an opener on a jazz festival set or concert featuring your developing ensemble. Its accessible swing feel and clear structure make it ideal for demonstrating musicianship growth early in the school year, or use it to anchor a pre-competition warm-up set that builds ensemble confidence.
