    Need some help finding some songs, fast.

    Well, I tried out for a jazz band back in september and the concert for it is coming up this weekend. The problem is I just got the music today and the only rehearsal time is going to be a few hours before the concert. It's stupid to get the music so late, I know. I have no idea why they waited so long to send out the music and only have one rehearsal, the day of the concert even.

    Here is the list of songs we are going to be playing. I need a little help finding some tracks to play along with. It is important that I get a track with the same composer. I can't play along to it if I don't have the right composer.

    Song: Manteca
    Composer: Dizzy Gillespie, Walter Gil Fuller, and Luciano Pozo Gonzales

    I have already found one track for this song that matches the music exactly, it's just lacking in quality. If someone can find a better quality version it would be great!

    Song: A Riff in Time...
    Composer: Jack Feierman

    Song: Kicks N' Licks
    Composer: Howard Rowe

    Song: Stealin' Apples
    Composer: Andy Razaf and Thomas Waller

    Please try to get as many versions of a song as possible. I need these by tomorrow (about 16 hours from the time of this post). Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Oh well, thanks for looking. I've been able to get down most of the music so maybe I will be able to learn the tougher parts easier when I hear the rest of the band play it.

    Tenor sax. They're going to record the concert so I'll buy a video and post it on here whenever I get the chance. The Stealin' Apples song is a tenor sax duet. I'm really looking forward to playing it!

    Already tried, couldn't find anything matching the music.

    I'm leaving in a few minutes to go to the rehearsal. Good luck to me. :D

    Ya, it's all good. As soon as we started playing with the full band it was a lot easier to learn how the songs go. I didn't buy a CD because they were $20 but I'll try to either get a rip of the video or copy the CD from someone. The concert was amazing, we looped the last song and everyone got to improv a solo. We were rockin'!

    Have you tried looking about iTunes? They might have it. They have millions of songs o.O That is, if you wanna go ahead and spend a tiny 79p per song :)
