This was written for Doc Severinsen to premier at the Midwest Band and Orchestra Conference. It is a bright, swinging chart that features trumpet throughout (of course). This can be performed with an out-in-front soloist or within the trumpet section with 4 players only. The harmonic pattern is terrific, and there is lots of room for the soloist to improvise. The band parts are not too difficult. 5-5-4-4 (can be played with only 8 brass). |
