(8 Brass) Olive Street features lead alto with well-complemented ensemble sections. The chord progression takes harmonic “left turns” to create an interesting tonal landscape. A saxophone soli is also included within an exciting shout chorus.  This is a perfect chart for an ensemble looking for a modern chart within a comfortable tempo.
