Program Notes

This mid-tempo jazz waltz features alto sax, trumpet, and guitar as a melodic trio and later as individual soloists. Idiomatic rhythm section parts are accessible for players new to the style and fun to play for those with experience. The main melody is set to the II-V-I harmonies traditional to jazz waltz, while more modern modal harmonies color the bridge. Optional written solos are included, as well as chord symbols for those preferring to improvise
