Future Song for group - THIS LIST IS LONG!

Hey Everyone,

Now that we have a few performances under our belt, which have gone over very well by the way,  the next step is to increase the library so to speak.  I have volume 1 of the Real Book and earmarked tunes I thought would be fun/challenging for us to do.  One other thing I would like to introduce is the solo feature.  Basically, I want everyone to have a tune where they are the star.  While this is a group, each member deserves a few minutes to be appreciated for their contributions to the group, and I think this can be done with the solo features.  Also, it will give us variety during performances so it's not always the same routine of play the melody, solo, then play the melody to end it.

Here's the list so far:
  1. I Got Rhythm
  2. Angel Eyes (this might be a good trumpet solo feature)
  3. Anthropology
  4. Autumn Leaves
  5. Four
  6. In Walked Bud
  7. Jersey Bounce
  8. Lady Bird
  9. Line for Lyons
  10. Oleo
  11. One for My Baby (this might be a good sax solo feature)
  12. Satin Doll (piano solo feature)
  13. Tenderly
  14. The Way you Look Tonight
  15. Do Nothing 'Til You Hear from Me
  16. Don't Get Around Much Anymore
  17. Misty
Now, that's a lot of tunes, I know, and I think what I'm going to do is instead of tailoring every part, I'm going to provide copies of certain tunes.  If you want a different solo feature or have your own suggestions for tunes, post a comment.
