This track is an original big band chart that features Bari Sax and Tune Percussion on the lead melody.  It was originally written in response to my frustration with a saxophone students who did not show up to a lesson.  The melodic line uses the compositional device of octave displacement as a way of giving the student a more difficult melody to play.  It has three distinctive grooves; Triplet Swing, Swing and Shuffle.  It features trumpet 2 solo , trombone 1 solo and tenor 1 solo, each with optional tuned percussion solo or double.    It is for an intermediate level band and primarily aimed at high school, college or community level band.

Continuing my fascination with odd time signatures this chart is in 11/4 (3,3,3,2 and 3,3,2,3), 7/4 and 4/4.  In addition it was originally written in November 1974 for a combo I was in at the time and was performed as a big band chart at Berklee College of Music by Phil Wilson’s lab band in 1983.   It features an alto 1 solo and an optional piano or vibraphone solo.  This chart has swing and latin grooves that provide contrasting section of the charts.   It is aimed at high school, college and community big band advanced intermediate.

In many ways my fascination with odd time signatures started with hearing the Don Ellis orchestra in high school jazz band and Dave Brubeck Quartet Take Five comoposition by Paul Desmond.  Originally this chart was a composition for didgeridoo and alto sax I rescored or big band.  The didgeridoo influence is the drone like bass line in the two main sections.  This piece is in 5/4 swing and features an alto 1 solo and trombone 1 solo.  It starts with a brass choral section, without rhythm section backing, that occurs again in the middle and DC sections with the sax section added.  It is aimed at high school, college and community big band intermediate level.

Written in far north Queensland it evokes the image of the coastal taipan that is resident in this part of Australia.  The main melody starts out in 6/4 and gives the impression a a Taipan slithering through the grassy marsh and then moves to 5/4, 3/4 and 4/4.  It features a tenor 1 solo and a trumpet 2 solo.  It is aimed at high school, college and community big band intermediate level.
