Blue After Two is a slow blues, with subtle and sophisticated harmonies placed over an after hours roadhouse 12/8 groove. After the subtle opening, the chart heats up with solos by alto sax, trombone and bass, and features powerful ensemble passages, along with an a cappella chorale section with the horns, all culminating in a down and dirty ensemble shout. Trumpet 1 range to written High F. 5 Saxes, 4 Trumpets, 5 Trombones, Piano, Bass and Drums.
