Written for the 1999 Wisconsin Honors Jazz Ensemble, this tune combines a powerful hip-hop groove, hard-hitting ensemble figures, unique harmonies, compelling minimalist features, and a touch of humor in a musical salute to Green Bay Packers legend Ray Nitschke. Brass ranges are reasonable, and highly accessible improvisation showcases for tenor sax and trumpet are included. The alternating 4/4 and 2/4 bars throughout may seem a little intimidating at first, but will fall into place quickly.
