Things to consider
Grade levels here range from very easy (0.5) to advanced (5.5), so match your ensemble's reading ability and intonation control to the chart difficulty, not just the title recognition. Herbie Hancock's Grade 2 arrangements like Chameleon and Watermelon Man are popular with developing ensembles because the grooves sit well and students hear themselves immediately. If you're bridging from concert band to jazz idiom, start with Grade 1 charts to build section blend and time feel before tackling the Grade 4 and 5 complexity.
