The Claude Thornhill Orchestra was known as an ensemble that featured extreme contrasts in dynamics, from very soft to loud. Although there are some sections of Robbins' Nest that are moderately loud to very loud, the key to the success of this arrangement is softness; the ability to play very relaxed, yet softly at the same time. This is the perfect piece to practice such an approach. Additionally, some of the voicings are highly dissonant and demand perfect intonation. Grinds of half-steps against each other are an Evans trademark, from Thornhill to the classic Miles Davis albums "Miles Ahead" and "Porgy and Bess."
