Ephemeris in science terminology is a book with tables that gives the trajectory of naturally occurring astronomical objects as well as artificial satellites in the sky, i.e., the position (and possibly velocity) over time.

The Jazz Combo piece is written in that way, progressions that might naturally occur in 4/4 time and is dark in vibe and nature just like space.

Instrumentation
Upright Bass
Drums
Vibes
Marimba

Note: If you merged the Vibes and Marimba part together, it is feesible that a piano or guitar could cover the parts.

This piece was originally a classical string movement by Mozart.  This arrangement takes that and turns it into a small jazz combo piece for piano, upright bass, drums and tenor sax.  The tenor part could be switched to another brass or woodwind instrument or even a guitar.  The piano could also instead be a vibrapone or marimba part.  The piano part is the lead but the tenor has a lot of lead-like instances as well.  The tempo is increased slightly from the original and the piece is meant to be swung throughout.

Jazz Trio Piece for Upright Bass, Clarinet in Bb and Drums.  Transitions between Bb minor and A.  BPM 140.  Should swing a bit but could be played very straight and even classically if one would want to.  Goes between 4/4 and 7/4.  And most importantly ... IT'S FUN!
