As recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra on the Newport album, this clever Willie Maiden arrangement is set in three sections - ballad, medium swing and fast swing. There is solo space for baritone saxophone (written out), bass (written out), tenor saxophone, trumpet, alto saxophone, and lead trumpet (a la Maynard). While this chart will certainly take some work to pull off, it will absolutely be worth it in the end! You band and audiences will love this great rendition of Old Man River! 5-5-4-3.

Bob has created an absolutely thrilling 12 minute work, inspired by his Celtic roots (Towednack is a small area in Cornwall, England). The Celtic influence is heard in the triple-meter settings and the interlude which reflects back on a Riverdance style of music. Tenor sax is featured. Very much in the genre of his Metheny/Mays charts of the past. Commissioned by Riverside Community College (CA) Performed at the August, 1999 Kenton Sounds concert in Los Angeles. No w.w. doubles. The CD on which this piece is recorded is Towednack, Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band (available from Sierra Music). 5-4-4-4 (opt. vibes and aux. perc.).
