incredible excitement of
that band. Recorded on

This is
another great Oliver
Nelson chart (it swings
like crazy!). It starts
in 3/4 and then goes to
4/4 and has a wonderful
feel and flow as it moves
through the different
sections. The piece has
very limited brass ranges
with some optional octave
writing in the trumpet 1
part. There is solo space
for alto saxophone,
trumpet, piano and drums.
This big band arrangement
was adapted by Bob Curnow
from the original small
band version as recorded
on Oliver Nelson Plays
Michelle (Impulse).

As
commissioned (and

Germany, this is an
extended arrangement
based on a gorgeous
melody by Pat Metheny.
The saxophone players
double on flute (sax 1),
clarinets (sax 2-4) and
bass clarinet (sax 5).
There is solo space for
piano, tenor sax and
trombone, as the chart
moves from a rubato
ballad, to a bossa feel,
to a rock ballad feel,
and back to the rubato
again. This is a highly,
emotionally charged piece
which makes a wonderful
addition to any program.
Limited brass ranges. The
chart also includes an
interweaving of Metheny's
pensive melody Tell Her
You Saw Me. The CD on
which this piece is
recorded is Towednack,
