Performed in rehearsal here by Doctor Ohm Digital Jazz Orchestra.

Approx. 11 minutes. Occam’s razor is composed for 5/4/4/4 jazz orchestra. Solos are for soprano saxophone and drums. This is an adaptation of a piece originally recorded on the album Justin Morell — Septet.  This arrangement features a saxophone soli.

The dynamic marking “m” is used throughout to indicate “mezzo”, or medium volume, in place of the more typical “mf” and “mp”.

Instrumentation: [5, 4, 4, 4] soprano, alto,  2 tenor, baritone saxophones; trumpet 4 doubles flugelhorn.

Score is available for free here, and is featured in the video above. Purchase includes the complete set of parts. As with all music on this site, parts are designed to be printed in booklet form on 17 x 11 paper, but can be printed and taped on letter-size paper.
