Summertime:
A unique Latin treatment of the Gershwin classic. Gary Hill’s
arrangement features James Bazen on flute.
There
Is No Greater Love:
A piano feature in the Basie style arranged by James Bazen.
Tight horn riffs answered by swinging drum fills make this
a strong arrangement of the jazz classic.
Tonight He’s Mine:
Another Bazen arrangement. Vocalist Debbie Macfarlan sings
this dreamy bossa nova that develops into a hot samba. Check
out the trombone solo by former Airmen Of Note trombonist
Doug Elliot.
Syeeda’s
Song Flute:
A great rendition of the Coltrane classic arranged and performed
by Kellogg Johnson.
Willow
Weep For Me:
The sultry voice of Patty McKay ignites this bluesy standard
arranged by Matt Harris.
Danny The Samba Boy:
Bazen’s refreshing arrangement of the Irish war horse. It
features a traditional intro that goes into a driving Latin
beat. Bazen is featured on clarinet.
Stranger Things:
James Bazen first released this original as the title cut
on his first CD. This rockin’ rearrangement explores the
tunes full potential including a screaming sax solo by James
Bazen, a driving keyboard solo, and an "in your face" guitar
solo.
I Could Write A Book:
This swinging arrangement by Gary Hill comfortably frames
Patty McKay’s vocals to perfection.
The
Funky Little
Drummer Boy:
James Bazen’s intense treatment of the Christmas tune. Majestic
brass! Wild solos! And, of course, frenetic drums! All
to a Cajun beat.
Chillin’:
A laid back blues original by Bazen reminiscent of Count
Basie’s "Sunday Morning At The Savoy" with lazy solos and
"feel good" horns!
All of the above arrangements
except "You Can Have It" and "Willow Weep For Me" are available
through Musicunlimited.com.
They are professionally laid out using Finale notation software
and include a bound conductor’s score.
