Sioux Center Shuffle

Sioux Center Shuffle

Greg Yasinitsky

This grooving shuffle has it all! Fun stop time sections bookend a roaring Saxophone soli. There is a wonderful soft passage for the Saxes and Trumpets following the solo section which builds slowly to a swinging out chorus. (3:18)

Andrew Lesick

Andrew has created a unique chart that blends a fiery, driving Latin groove with a more carefree Chuck Mangione feel. After a percussive intro, a trio with Tenor, Trumpet and Trombone present the head of the tune. There is an optional Conga part included, but in his notes to the director, Andrew suggests adding other percussion instruments to add to the flavor of the chart. (3:29)

George Gershwin
Arranged by Ellen Rowe

You can’t go wrong with George Gershwin, and master composer & arranger Ellen Rowe has done a spectacular job of taking the genius melody of this classic tune and crafting a subtle and sophistcated chart. The arrangement moves from a straight eighth feel to a Jazz waltz before melting into a lovely Bossa. Everything about this chart just feels perfect. (3:36)

Craig Skeffington

An intense intro and outro set up and cap off this free-wheeling swing chart. The full ensemble will get a workout with solo space for Trombone and Piano in the center section. The back half of the chart brings the intensity down to a soft simmer before closing out with a bang. (3:29)
