Baryonyx Walkeri    1.35MB    (recording taken from the DS)      

A difficult chart with solos for trombone, trumpet, soprano/tenor, and bass with colla voce and half-tempo passages.

Pipp Brook    1.65MB       FREE 

A fast samba that goes into swing. Solos are for Alto (Phil Paton, here), Trumpet and Drums and just before the drum solo, for everyone in the band! Not as difficult as it might sound. Listen to the whole piece on   youtube here

Ralph    790KB      

This is a ballad featuring Alto (Alex Bondonno on this recording) which goes into double-tempo for the solo. Listen to the whole piece on   youtube here

Deorc Ingas    1.34MB       Listen to the whole piece on  youtube here

A medium-tempo straight-8ths tune with some 3/4 bars amongst the 4/4. Solos are for Alto, Trombone and Tenor. Watch the dynamics which are very important in this tune.

The Golden Hind    1.20MB      

A feature for a Trombonist with a unison ensemble passage. The trombonist on this full-length recording is the fabulous Mark Bassey. Listen to the whole piece on   youtube here

Major Peter Peters Out    1.55MB      

Solos for Tenor and Trumpet with slightly challenging ensemble passage. Soundbite from a rehearsal.

Box and Cocks    1.54MB       Listen to the whole piece on   youtube here

Solos for Trumpet and Bass Trombone, (Howard Beagley, here), Piano or Guitar with a few ensemble passages.

One for the Chic ks    989KB      

Solos are for Alto and Trombone. The piano part should be looked at before playing but otherwise, not a difficult chart. The solo sequence however might need a bit of practice to get it to flow.

Cavern    1.25MB      

This is one for the tenor sax players (even better if they can double on soprano) Listen to the whole piece on youtube here

Abinger Hammer    1.20MB       FREE  

Contains an unaccompanied solo piano passage, Tenor solo and Bass solo and some fast-finger exercises. Listen to the whole piece on youtube here

Friends of Jazz    1.27MB      

A challenging solo sequence for the Tenor and Trumpet and an ensemble passage.

Hen Party    1.30MB      

Needs careful counting. Solos for Trombone and 2 Trumpets. Quite tricky ensemble passage. Not one to play without rehearsal. The trombonist here is Mark Bassey again. Listen to the whole piece on   youtube here

For Ken    1.30MB      

This is highly irregular and needs to be counted carefully. Technically, though, it is not difficult. There are a lot of changes of time signature with much syncopation and irregular chorus length - the solo sequence is 19 bars long. Solos are for two of the trumpets. Apart from the introduction, the whole arrangement can be heard here. Solos are from Martijn van Galen and Rob Heasman on trumpets in that order. Pity Kenny Wheeler wasn't at the gig.
