CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT – Wayne Shorter
I pulled this off of the Art Blakey album Mosaic, after realizing just how inaccurate the Jazz LTD chart is & how weird it sounds in C minor rather than the original B minor. In the interest of space, I didn’t include the intro / bass ostinato. I wanted this chart to show the entire

THREE WISHES – Herbie Hancock
From the Donald Byrd album Free Form, featuring Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Butch Warren and Billy Higgins. I’m not positive this is a Herbie Hancock tune – it may well have been written by Donald Byrd, or Wayne Shorter, or some other genius.

LANDS END – Harold Land
Here is one of the few known tunes from the underrated tenor saxophonist Harold Land. I transcribed the version that can be heard on Brown & Roach: Study in Brown. The only difference is that I give the original melody to the trumpet, while adding a 2nd line for tenor saxophone. The original arrangement was
-
HYMN OF THE ORIENT – Gigi Gryce
At least I think it’s written by Gigi Gryce… Nah, it is. Although it’s sometimes mistakenly credited to Quincy Jones, there are some similarities in hipness with such Quincy tunes as Jessica’s Birthday. I transcribed this from the Clifford Brown Memorial Album, featuring Harold Land & Gigi Gryce. My purpose was to bring this arrangement
-
PAPAYA HOLIDAY – Tom Harrell
This arrangement is found on Tom Harrell’s album Passages. On the recording, the 2nd horn is alto saxophone, but I’ve transposed it to tenor saxophone to be played with John Reynolds Quintet.
-
VISITATION – Sam Jones on Paul Chambers
Here is Sam Jones’ interpretation of the classic Paul Chambers tune Visitation. I transcribed this version from the 1978 Sam Jones album, aptly titled Visitation. It’s a great album altogether, featuring Bob Berg, Ronnie Mathews & Al Foster, and a handful of Tom Harrell tunes. Sam Jones makes some slight changes to the melody (which
