Additional info/contents	Commissioned by the Gates Chili High School Jazz Ensemble in Rochester, New York, this original for proficient groups alternates between a Latin and straight 8th-note feel, and draws on the ascending melodic minor scale and its related modes for its source material. This is a sophisticated chart with moderate range demands and notated rhythm section parts. Soloists can navigate the 16-measure solo using just a single scale over hip jazz chords! Ranges: D6 trumpet, Ab4 trombone Solos: OPEN AD LIB SOLOS Rhythm Section: NOTATED Instrumentation: STANDARD
