A great way to introduce the Dorian mode to young players. This modal chart features a moderate tempo and moderate ranges all around. A part of the Jazz in Concert Series, Dorian Journey is flexibly orchestrated so that it can be played with 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.
