K. G. Cape Town: Ensemble Mix

In this swingin' original, "K. G. Cape Town," the wind parts whirl over a repetitive bass line while drums alternate between solo and accompaniment figures. South African music merges with modern jazz sounds. A short open solo section gives everyone a chance to improvise over easy changes. Part 1 is playable by flute, oboe, violin, guitar, clarinet, trumpet, soprano, or alto saxophone; Part 2 is playable by alto or tenor saxophone; Part 3 is playable by trombone, tenor, or baritone saxophone. The compositions have been written for flexible wind ensembles, containing C, E-flat and B-flat parts. The rhythm section can be composed of bass, percussion and wind instrument. For musicians with basic knowledge of jazz harmony.
