Another terrific feature chart by Bill Holman. This one was written to feature Gabe Baltazar (alto saxophone) and was recorded on the Adventures in Jazz album (available on CD from Sierra). It opens with a slow setting, moves into a fast tempo and returns to the pensive, beautiful, slow setting which opened the chart. Exquisite writing! Edited to be played without mellophoniums. Standard sax section. 5-4-4-3 (10 brass optional). |
