Greg Yasinitsky

You will find something for everyone in this funfilled Latin-rock excursion! Punchy horn figures, compelling rhythm section parts and an engaging harmonic structure combine to make this chart a winner. The solo changes are easy to navigate for developing improvisers and it will be fun to play over the hip groove. (3:23)

Mind Over Matters

Mind Over Matters

Kris Berg

The unmistakable creativity of composer Kris Berg shines through in the up-tempo swinger. This is a unique chart that usually only appears in Grade 4 - 5 repertoire, but Kris has done a masterful job of making this contemporary jazz composition playable by younger groups. (2:44)

Jeff Jarvis

If you are looking for a well-developed blues chart with a straight ahead swing feel that has some “meat on the bones” this is the composition for you. Jeff has pulled out all the stops on this wonderful new chart...blues harmony with a twist, interesting development sections and a killer shout chorus. (3:37)

Dave Hanson

Composer Dave Hanson shares his colorful harmonic sensibilities with this relaxed Bossa Nova composition. The lush lines weave in and out to create a beautiful soundscape that floats over the rhythm section. This would be an excellent choice for a “contrast” tune at a festival or concert. (3:36)
