Performed in rehearsal here by Doctor Ohm Digital Jazz Orchestra.
Approx. 10 minutes. Senate Summer is composed for 5/4/4/4 jazz orchestra. Drums are featured throughout, first during a slow introduction, then over a simple open vamp, and finally in dialog with ensemble figures at the end. Additional solos are for either tenor 1 or guitar, followed by trumpet 2. This is an adaptation of a piece originally recorded on the album TriOrange.
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 (doubles flute), 2 tenors (doubling clarinet), baritone (doubles bass clarinet) saxophones; trumpets double flugelhorn. If woodwind doubles are not available, the parts can be played on saxophones as they are quite brief.
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.
