(8 Brass) (Level 4) A 3/4 meter, straight-eighth chart in the style of Pat Metheny. Engaging introduction is followed by a lyrical melody stated by soprano sax and trumpet. A few meter changes and several complex chords make for an interesting journey. A section of three-part counterpoint introduces the soprano sax solo which is followed by hemiola ensemble figures. Alto 1 doubles soprano.
