Winding Rose

Winding Rose is an exhilarating composition that consists of clever melodies and an imaginative rhythmic treatment. Comprised of several tempo an meter changes, this piece begins with a slow introduction in 4/4 before evolving into 11/4. Exciting rhythms for full band, lyrical melodies for horn trio and two contrasting solo sections for trumpet (11/4) and tenor saxophone (4/4) make this work a must for any serious jazz ensemble. Alto 1-alto sax and flute, Alto 2-alto and soprano sax; trumpet 2-trpt and flugel, trumpet 2-trpt and flugel, trumpet 3-trpt and fulge, harmon mute, trumpet 4-trpt and fluge, harmon mute.
