Mike Tomaro
More advanced groups have come to know that Mike Tomaro’s name on a piece means that the music is of the highest quality. Our Man Dan is no exception. The chart is built on a swung 8th funk groove and features wonderful ensemble writing as well as plenty of space for your soloists.

Denis DiBlasio
Denis DiBlasio’s new chart is a great vehicle for introducing odd meters to your band. The driving even eighth note groove with constant quarter notes in the rhythm section will make the 7/4 feel natural in a short amount of time. Open solos over one scale gives your soloists a perfect chance to spread their wings as well. A great change up chart for any program!

Bryan Carter
This hard charging shuffle from the pen of drummer Bryan Carter has got it all. Commissioned by the Jazz Division of the Illinois Music Education Association for the 2024 Illinois All-State Jazz Band the chart features a wonderful melody based on Bird Blues chord changes, lots of solid ensemble work and a Sax soli. And there is plenty of space to open the chart up for your soloist. This one is a must for your library!
