Small Big Band Chart

In addition to a couple of CDs for singers lately, I've been writing some charts for a college in upstate NY.  Not the traditional big band however, more of a smaller version.  2 tpts, 2 bones, 3 saxes and rhythm.  It is an interesting (and challenging) instrumentation to write for.  You don't get the power of the big band sound and you have to kind of think more in lines and counterpoint and what not. 

Anyway, I did just get a recording of one of the charts and you can listen to it below.  I do plan on getting this on the website for sale, along with the other one that has been recorded.  After that there will be 4 more coming.  I do think this one would make a good full big band version.  Kind of nice to start off with unaccompanied horns with no rhythm.  Take a listen and let me know what your thoughts are.  You can leave a comment below.

The chart is called "In Time's Shadow"
