A sweet, melodic, light bossa nova - with a bite! Melbourne Walk-Up was inspired by the composer's visit to Melbourne, Australia, where, in the absence of an elevator in his hotel, he had to trek up the stairs with all of his luggage. Sorenson says: I composed this melody the following day, as I rested my sore back. Flexible orchestration allows it to be played by as few as 9 players. Additionally, everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section, and the set includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate successful improvisation.

The Cat's Meow is straight-ahead swinger in the same vein as Benny Golson's classic Killer Joe. The melody is a very simple riff that repeats at different levels over the course of the form. The cat who inspired the tune is a furry exotic Persian named Berlioz who took up residence in the composer's house. Like most cats, his life consists mainly of eating and sleeping. He most often resides at the top of the stairs, and never bothers to try to get out of the way.
