Uncommon Zentz

Description

More advanced groups have come to know that Mike Tomaro’s name on a piece means that the music is of the highest quality “Uncommon Zentz” is no exception. This hard charging swing chart is a tour de force and lets everyone get in on the action. Solo spots are for Trombone and Trumpet but may be opened up for additional soloists. Essential writing for more experienced groups.

Program Notes

Don Zentz is one of the great jazz educators with whom I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know in the past few years. Upon his retirement, the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, where he taught for many years, commissioned me to compose this piece in his honor.
