Things to consider

Match the grade level of the chart to your ensemble's reading fluency, not just their overall playing level. Grade 2 charts like the Gordon Goodwin volumes are accessible entry points into jazz vocabulary. Decide upfront The backing tracks are invaluable for building soloist confidence, so prioritize at least one rhythm section book if you're working with horn players who need accompaniment for practice.
