Blues For Sakis
€67.50 inc. VAT
Shuffle-Blues, featuring all sections
Duration ca. 10 min
The basie-style blues arrangement provides a medium difficult feature-chorus for each section, saxophones, trumpets and trombones. In between there is a lot of space for soloists. The ironic coda cites many other well-known blues heads. It´s a fun piece, offering the occasion to present all members of the band.

Seiltanz [Dance on a Tightwire]
5/4 Fusion
Duration ca. 10 min
After the woodwind intro soprano sax and guitar play the head. The solo-part is open for several soloists. Flutes, clarinets and percussion dominate the sound of the minimalistic interlude, where time seems to float and which offers space for a tenor solo. The backings played by woodwinds, trombones, flugelhorns and percussion lead to the coda, which pays tribute to the head. Finally, the piece comes to an end in the outro, solely played by guitar and piano. An ambitioned piece for ambitioned bands.

Jazz Waltz/Afro Cuban 6/8
Duration ca. 8 min
The catchy folk-like melody is dressed in counter-parts and new harmonies over and over. After a 3/4 rock-interlude the piece reaches its climax in a 6/8 afro-cuban groove with collective improvisation.
Compared to the CD-version all flute and clarinet parts have been rearranged for saxes.

Moonwalk (Vocal Arrangement)
Soft Rock/Afro Cuban 6/8
Duration ca. 10 min
…from the Children’s Songs Series
This arrangement of the German folk song “Der Mond ist aufgegangen” [Moon has risen] features a singer (baritone) and is packed with dense, warm voicings. Solos are played on a 10-bar minor blues in afro-cuban style. The song fades out in a scat solo. A challenging title to listen to and dream.
