Recording is an excerpt from a quartet arrangement. It demonstrates the basic style and feel.
Solos in piano, trombone 1, trumpet 2
approx. 8:20 or longer. An adaptation of a piece originally recorded on the album Justin Morell Quartet. The piece leans bossa-nova or slow samba. Piano fills around the introductory gestures. Chord changes are included in much of the piano and guitar parts, but care should be taken not to let the texture become too dense. Colors and textures are favored over thick, active voicings and comping. The trumpet solo is fairly lengthy as written, but the repeated section at m. 124 can be extended if desired with backgrounds played last time only.
Instrumentation: [5, 4, 4, 4] 2 alto, 2 tenor, baritone saxophones; trumpets 2, 3 & 4 double flugelhorn.
The full score is available free of charge here. Purchase will include the complete set of parts.
