Come On In, by David Caffey
Our Price: $60.00


(8 brass) Commissioned by Gene Aitken for the UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival All-Stars to feature saxophonist Don Aliquo, Come On In is a medium shuffle in minor blues form that features the tenor soloist throughout, although solo space can easily be spread to other players. The chart builds continuously to a driving shout chorus – it’s a strong concert opener.  There are no woodwind doubles.

Tale Of The Open Road, by Erik Applegate
Our Price: $60.00

(9 Brass) A sophisticated contemporary piece with creative architecture and orchestral colors, reminiscent of the Pat Metheny Group. A haunting chant-like melody played by solo piano and then joined by tenor continues to develop over a straight 3/4 (or 6/8) groove. This leads to a tenor solo beginning over a bass vamp that moves into the changes of the tune. A piano solo continues from the tenor solo and leads to a development section with a memorable melody. Commissioned by Gene Aitken for the 2008 UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival All-Stars, and recorded by UNC Jazz Lab Band I on their upcoming CD.
