This is not an encyclopedia, but an unusual juxta position of two styles of music. The fanfare is an exciting straight-ahead bit of writing which works its way through contrapuntal and polytonal paths and somehow finds itself in the middle of a funk version of itself. After some solos and a drum solo transition the music completes the symmetric circle and ends as it started. A great opener!

Get ready to dig in! Turf War gives the whole band a chance to defend its ground while engaging in a battle of musical force! This driving rock chart never stops. Well-placed drum fills, mostly tutti scoring, crescendos and a big time ending lend lots of excitement to this hardcore rock tune! The changes are straight ahead so anyone can have the opportunity to solo and focus on the blues scale. Highly recommended!

With a catchy melody, jazzy call-and-response licks, and a fun Latin feel, Hop, Skip ‘Nda Jump really bounces off the page. It initially features the 1st trumpet, and alto then adds in the rest of the band to Hop, Skip 'nda Jump their way in to a great concert closer. The solo section is open with straight ahead changes and simple backgrounds then a bridge that gives each section a chance to leap up and take their turn. It ends with a big shout chorus and even with modest brass ranges it's scored so that it sounds full and exciting!

Here' s a straight-ahead chart reminiscent of Miles Davis' modal playing and writing during the late 1950s. It takes the typical AABA form and compresses it, so the band won't be stranded on one chord for 16 to 24 measures. This, along with the focus on ensemble playing and the excellent suggestions in the IDEAS FOR IMPROV section of the score, makes Play It Cool an excellent vehicle to introduce this important style to your young ensemble. By the way, it does sound cool too!

Innocence is available for either piano solo or piano and chamber accompaniment (flute, clarinet, first and second violins, viola and cello). It is a good learning tool for aspiring musicians at or above a beginner's level.

Technically , the piece contains several tertian harmonies and simple flares of credenza-like complexities. The form is a through composed inspiration that later becomes more refined in terms of symmetry and balance. Less technically described, Innocence was written to demonstrate the differences and the compatibility between traditional and untraditional harmonic development. Students will or should recognize the two different approaches.

In the most traditional approach, the listener is typically able to predict how the melody will unfold. It is like a journey down a road where the passengers can see all the straight-aways and turns ahead. Innocence , however, while never discarding or disrespecting musical grammar, is occasionally innocently twisted to hijack the listener into gently surprising and unanticipated turns. It is a good learning tool to point out the different approaches to composition. It is also simply a fun and entertaining piece in and of itself.
