This composition takes no prisoners and it's rated as advanced. The main time signature is 7/4 and there are lots of tempo changes and switches between jazz and even styles.

The harmonic shapes and colors challenge the soloist nicely, but not too much, resulting in an engaging improvisational aspect to the piece. When it's under the fingers, your band and the audience will love it. Instrumentation: ATB Saxes (with Baritone doubling on Soprano), 2 Trumpets, Trombone, Piano, Bass and Drums.
