The Quadrafrantics is a medium swing/double time hard bop chart featuring a front line of four soloists: 1st Alto, 1st Tenor, 2nd Trumpet, and 2nd Trombone. It's a tour de force bop concerto grosso featuring a four horn front line (as the concertino) with a big band (as the ripieno). This group within a group chart features the front line as a unit both separate from, and integrated within the full ensemble. The time alternates between medium and double time with plenty of solo space for the four soloists. Written early in Wolking's teaching career, it has been revisited and slightly revised for this 21st century release. It includes contrapuntal and developmental activity based on the opening melodies presented by the front line and builds to some intense and exciting high points. Instrumentation: 5 Saxes (no doubles); 5 Trumpets; 5 Trombones, Guitar, Piano, Bass, and Drums. The Trumpet 1 range is to written high E.
