The commercial recording was released on the Artists Recording Collective (ARC) label and available at the top music stores like: iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play and CD Baby. STUDIO RECORDING NOTES The provided MP3 Audio Clip contains an excerpt of the commercial recording and features: Christopher Burnett – alto saxophone/composition; Roger Wilder – piano; Jeff Harshbarger – bass; Clarence Smith – drums; with Terri Anderson Burnett and Freda Proctor – flutes. The final mastering and mix by Craig Rettmer at C.R. Sound in Kansas City is truly amazing. ABOUT THE COMPOSER How are jazz careers made? Many have remarked on the big historical shift: musicians used to apprentice on the road with masters and learn the language firsthand, but those cultural conditions are fading, and the bandstand has been replaced by the graduate degree. There’s truth in that narrative, and yet it fails to account for the full variety of paths that players are taking as they strive to find their voice in this music.For alto saxophonist Christopher Burnett, the journey involved spending 22 years as a musician in the U.S. Army. He left the service in 1996 - I’ve been out nearly as long as I was in, he says - and resettled in 2001 in his native Kansas City metropolitan area. Two years earlier, in 1999, he had released his debut recording, Time Flies, and in 2008 he followed up with Theme Music, both on the Artists Recording Collective (ARC) label that he cofounded with saxophonist Erica Lindsay and pianist Sumi Tonooka. Now at age 58, Burnett reaches another level of achievement with Firebird, showcasing a fine working quartet and a set of compositions rich in beauty, subtlety and sophistication. There’s a remarkable lyrical ease and harmonic savvy in the compositions that make up Firebird, not least of all on the title track with its layered flutes and Latin-tinged rhythmic feel. Burnett’s legato eloquence and depth of expression on the slow 4/4 Ballad for An Optimist is another highlight. His choice of the inspired, metrically shifting A Risk I Take, by French horn virtuoso and colleague Mark Taylor, tells us much about his refined taste and interpretive abilities.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1509513 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Donald Jay Smith. Christmas,Contest,Festival,Holiday,Instructional,Jazz. 26 pages. Donald Jay Smith Music #1084751. Published by Donald Jay Smith Music (A0.1509513). This is an adaptation of the traditional hymn, The First Noel with melodic changes to match  harmonization similar to rhythm changes and arranged for jazz band, (2AS, 2TS, BS, 4Trpt, 4Trb, and rhythm section). It simultaneously fulfilled two objectives. The improvisation lessons for the band revolved around rhythm changes near the holiday season one year and there were no available holiday songs set to the rhythm changes progression. And, it set up an announcement to the audience that the long wait was over after the introduction of The First Noel that inferred that some day there would some day be a Second Noel. It's here! Enjoy!!!
