th and samba styles, this thought provoking original work starts
with a noteworthy piano figure, then utilizes many colors and textures as it
takes the listener on a journey through smooth melodies, sudden bursts of full
ensemble power, delicate woodwind lines, metric changes, and more. For added
appeal, acoustic guitar can be used on the effective written lines and chord
voicings provided. All members of the ensemble have challenging and interesting
parts to play. Solo space is provided for soprano and tenor sax. This Jeff
Jarvis original appears on the Cal State Long Beach Concert Jazz Orchestra
recording “Great Northern Express”.
