October Rain

Vince Gassi

This beautiful ballad features the ensemble and is truly a gem at this level. Lush harmony abounds and all the colors of the contemporary jazz ensemble are utilized. There is a short written Piano solo that leads into the subtle modulation.

Still Friends?

Jack Cooper

Crafted in the style of the legendary chart of Bill Holman's on Just Friends this new composition from Jack Cooper uses a unison line in the winds over a full chorus of the tune before it breaks into the exciting harmonized section. This chart is a workout for the whole band and will highlight the ensemble's balance, blend, intonation and time.

Varadero Hip
