For Trombone Choir
Fanfare for Trombones (trombone choir, advanced)-A short, emphatic statement for 8 part trombone choir (separated into two quartets, playable by as little as 8 players).  Parts 1A and 1B in tenor clef, with 1A up to Eb above the staff.  Written for the Crane Trombone Ensemble and Eastman Trombone Choir in gratitude. $20

For Jazz Ensemble
New!!! Soul Eyes (jazz ensemble with tenor or alto saxophone soloist, medium easy)
This arrangement was done for the Green Mountain District V Middle School Jazz Ensemble, and is designed to feature your tenor or alto saxophonist.  Made famous by John Coltrane, this version is accessible for the middle school or high school jazz ensemble, or for college and professional bands as a solo vehicle that will not tax your brass players.  Lead trumpet range up to G above the staff. $20

Autumn Leaves (jazz ensemble, advanced)-All time standard re-imagined for the contemporary big band.  Brass chorale leads to melodic material with soprano saxophone, trombone, and lead trumpet with solo space for all.  Exciting shout features soaring lead trumpet, and lead trumpet can choose to end on F# or double A above the staff.  $30

Bobby B's Blues (jazz ensemble with trombone soloist, advanced)-Original blues featuring trombone and drums a la Mingus leading to drums laying down fast time with the full band following.  Solo space for all, this chart doesn't let up!  $25

Lament (jazz ensemble with trombone soloist, advanced)-Classic standard composed by J.J. Johnson, main melodic material and improvisation stated by solo trombone.  Short shout chorus after trombone improvisation.  Ends on climatic trombone cadenza with lead trumpet on a double G above the staff. Great showcase with big band!  $25

Skies Above Me (jazz ensemble, advanced)-Original chart featuring trombone, tenor saxophone, and drums as featured soloists.  Exciting short chorus leads to drum solo, leading back to main melodic material based on 3 note pattern, and a peaceful ending.  Lead trumpet to double G above staff.  Great opener or closer! Premiered by the Erica Seguine/Shannon Baker Jazz Orchestra in 2016.
​Dedicated to Veta, Jajuan, and Marley.  $30

Blue Bossa (jazz ensemble, medium advanced)-Kenny Dorham's iconic standard with a twist.  Cascading introduction leads to soli in tenor, trumpet, and trombone, and each acts as a featured soloist.  After solo section, band builds off a dominant pedal into a drum solo, leading back to original statement and cascading trombone soli.  Lead trumpet has one double G above staff, ends on strong E above the staff.  $30

For Concert Band
New!!! SOMS Fanfare (concert band, medium easy) This fanfare was composed for the South Orangetown Middle School Concert Band and is a short statement that allows your band to sound mature without being too technically challenging.  Fully involved writing for each section, the trumpets establish the tone in call and response with the rest of the band, and the middle section is lyrical with trumpet interjections.  Trumpet 1 goes up to G above the staff with optional high C's above the staff.  This is a winner!  $20  

Crest of Nobility (concert band, easy)-Stoic introduction warms up the band for the exciting dance-like Allegro.  Your band will absolutely love playing this piece!  $20

Out of Print at this time
Adventure to Nothing (concert band, beginning)-Great piece for your beginning band, nothing faster than a quarter note for the winds, and eighth notes for percussion.  Parts are split up so more advanced players can play 1st parts. Trumpet 1 to C in the staff.  Some chromatic notes in ending.  Very playable for the beginning band.  $20

Song and Dance (concert band, very easy)-Give your young band a chance to be expressive, then really shine with a catchy dance section.  Short alto saxophone solo near the end.  Trumpet 1 to C in the staff.  Fun!  $20
