Jazz ensemble (soprano saxophone and drums feature) - Level 5

SKU: NC.1733

Composed by Christopher Jentsch. Jazz, Medium, Swing. Score and set of parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.1733).

(8 Brass) A tour de force of controlled E pedal contrapuntal mayhem, Media Event" is a feature for soprano sax and drums. The original tune is based on Coltrane's Resolution; and there are plenty of Elvin/'Trane-style eight-bar phrases for the soloist and the ensemble. Some heavy trombone writing and a certain relentlessness make this a V. Thematic material from other movements serve as backgrounds and counter themes. Like all the movements in the Miami Suite, Media Event is doubly designed to be a stand-alone piece or to serve as the fourth movement. Reed II plays soprano sax throughout, soprano voice tacet and no other doubles. Recorded by the University of Miami's Concert Jazz Band on Jentsch's Miami Suite CD.
