I bet you could do a slackers song and open up some section of it for solos, but I seriously doubt your chances of both finding sheet music and if you were to come across the sheet music putting it all together by Friday, sorry there.

I agree with the Catch 22 "Walking Away" suggestion and I want to add the Toasters "Chuck Berry" and "Dave Goes Crazy" cuz those 3 are heavily jazz-influenced.

Anything Streetlight Manifesto (Point/Counterpoint especially) and the first Catch 22 album (Keasby Nights, Dear Sergio)

Mighty Mighty Bosstones!!!: Everyone's Better, Impression that I Get, Someday I Suppose,

MANDATORY HAWK MY OWN BAND MOMENT:
Also I play in my own ska/punk/reggae band, Rusinko (www.myspace.com/rusinko) we recently recorded our first 4 track studio demo and played our first show, so you can check us out if you want. We're a three piece so no horn section unfortunately. We Rock, even though my basslines are simple as apple pie. A groovy apple pie.
