More about this title

About the Composer: Mike Kamuf

Mike Kamuf is a respected composer and arranger in the jazz education space, known for writing charts that balance accessibility with genuine musical substance. His work across the Belwin Jazz Band Series demonstrates a gift for creating parts that engage every section while maintaining the swagger and authenticity that keeps student musicians invested.

Why we love this

Kamuf nails the balance between accessibility and genuine groove. A Grade 3.5 chart that actually swings, with enough solo real estate to keep multiple players engaged and enough ensemble punch to drive the whole band forward.

What to expect

Relaxed and energized at once. The bounce between swing and second-line feels natural and dance-worthy rather than forced, building momentum through the shout chorus while keeping the friendly, conversational tone of jazz conversation alive throughout.

Who it's for

Jazz ensemble directors who need a vehicle that challenges section players with solos and pushes the full band's groove vocabulary. Perfect for ensembles with developed rhythm sections and soloists ready to step into the spotlight.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the swing eighth-note feel early in rehearsal. The transition between swing and second-line grooves depends on clean, confident subdivision from the rhythm section and clear understanding from the band.
  • Give solo sections space to breathe. With five solo opportunities, the soloists need time to find their voice without the band rushing or dragging behind them.
  • Balance the lead trumpet range carefully, especially in the solis and shout chorus sections. The written B-flat demands secure upper-register control without forcing; work dynamics and phrasing alongside the range.
  • Let the vibes player make it a real addition, not an afterthought. Whether optional, their voice adds color and swing feel that rewards including them when your instrumentation allows.

How to use it

Program this as a concert centerpiece that gives your ensemble's soloists a showcase moment. The 170 BPM energy and multiple feature opportunities make it ideal for mid-set placement when attention is high and your best improvisers are warmed up.

Skills your students will build

  • Swing versus second-line groove differentiation and execution
  • Solo jazz vocabulary and phrasing over changes
  • Reading and executing soli sections with blend and balance
  • Upper-register trumpet intonation and control
  • Ensemble cohesion during modulations between groove styles
