Commissioned by the Northern Michigan University Jazz Ensemble, this jubilant tone poem portrays the Great Northern Railway that ran for a century from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. Beginning quietly in the distance, the chart builds steadily through a series of colorful variations and roars by at full throttle five minutes later. The fast swing train groove drops a beat every four measures (4-4-4-3) from start to finish. This is truly a marvel of modern jazz ensemble writing for proficient groups by one of the nation's most innovative composers. Duration 6:00.

It's time to let your Bari Sax player wail in this catchy rock tune. The changes are a variation on the blues form with a little bit of mixing modes to give it just the right feel to suit the title. Your brass can bop and groove in the background with their subtle hits that set up the melody. This chart is sure to make for an entertaining performance that will be enjoyed by everyone!! Great fun!
