Recorded by the University of North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band on their Lab '95 album, the opening piano solo is a rubato, out-of-tempo intro fashioned after the music of Bill Evans. When that ends, the band enters in a relaxed, medium swing groove. Solo choruses for tenor and trumpet (or flugelhorn) and strong ensemble work provide the finishing touches. Duration 5:30.

Recorded by the University of North Texas Lab Band, this medium advanced swing tune brings to mind the legendary collaborations of Gil Evans and Miles Davis. Written to portray the vibrant arts district of the same name in Pittsburgh, the challenges here involve compositional rather than technical elements since the texture is largely contrapuntal and requires a linear approach by all players. Flute doubles appear in the soprano and alto sax parts, all trumpets double on flugelhorn, and there are five parts for each brass section. Solos are given to tenor and trumpet.

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.
