Performed in rehearsal here by Doctor Ohm Digital Jazz Orchestra.

Approx. 10 minutes. Sun Subtle is composed for 5/4/4/4 jazz orchestra. The first solo can be opened up for several players. Additional solos are for soprano 2 and trumpet 2 (in dialog with the ensemble). This is an adaptation of a piece originally recorded on the album Justin Morell Dectet — Subjects and Complements.

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 tenor, baritone saxophones; trumpets double 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.
