This 12/8 minor blues was inspired by Duke Ellington's film score for Anatomy of a Murderer.

This great arrangement of a classic tune is a perfect concert closer. The double-time chorus will leave your audience cheering for more.

First-rate ensemble writing makes this funk shuffle an ideal choice for any concert program.

This is a beautiful chart, with a unique feel. Chart opens with a warm chorale melody, then evolves into an ethereal, straight-eighth (mm=140) ECM-ish feel. Solo changes are included for tenor and tru...
