Dedicated to Ned Corman, director of The Commission Project, this tenor saxophone feature pulls from the tradition of great blues tenor players like Stanley Turrentine and Gene Ammons. Listening to recordings of these players will give the soloist an idea of the personality and conviction that will guarantee a winning performance. Contrasting dynamics and solid ensemble writing are also hallmarks of this hard-swinging shuffle original for developing groups. Scored with Kendor Konvertible instrumentation for 9-17 players, each set also includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson and optional parts for flute, clarinet, horn in F, tuba, and vibes.
