Concert Jazz. Composed by Les Hooper. Sheet music. Concert Jazz. Score and parts. Duration 12'. Handelsware #SMP 352. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-352).

A monumental piece of big band jazz. This was written for Les' fantastic Chicago band. It is an extensive work (about 12 minutes) which features trumpet (or flugelhorn) throughout in various settings and styles, based on one of the most beautiful melodies Les has ever written. There are also piano solos. Woodwind players must be good doublers and it is well worth the effort. This is certainly one of Hooper's most dynamic and interesting creations (among a great many)! As recorded on the Dorian Blue LP. 5-4-4-3.
