THEME FROM SHAFT

Composer: Isaac Hayes
Arranger: Michael Brown

One of the most recognizable themes from the 70's is this powerful song by Isaac Hayes. This solid chart features the funky riffs from the original, a short trumpet solo, percussion feature breaks, and an exciting full band finish.

NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN
Series: Performance/Easy Limited Edition
Composer: Justin Hayward
Arranger: John Wasson
Level: 4

The Moody Blues put themselves on the map with this classic rock ballad. Beautifully written here to feature a trumpet solo at the start followed by a dramatic building segment. The woodwinds have a brief feature section then the piece builds to a strong close.

Everyone will remember this driving jazz-rock screamer from Bill Chase, and Brian Scott has given us a sensational "in-your-face" arrangement. It will be a huge hit with your students and your audience! (2:30)
