Bluster
The winds in foothill communities throughout southern California are often unpredictable and sometimes quite fierce. They can come and go in an instant or blow relentlessly all day. Bluster seeks to musically portray these wild winds in this colorful and energetic work. In addition to the rain stick, palm fronds may be shaken in the percussion section to give a visual depiction of the wind.” The minor harmonies create some neat sounds students would not usually encounter until a higher grade level. There is a great variety of articulation and dynamics that captures the energy of fierce winds perfectly”

Body and Soul
“Body and Soul” is a great jazz standard. An ideal tenor sax ballad feature, the tempo is 98 BPM, and the tenor has the melody and a written-out improv solo. It’s lush, with a nice texture with flugelhorns, and the lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff. (3:33)SKU: AL43685 -

Body and Soul
This is a must-have solo feature for alto saxophone! Dave Wolpe is one of the finest writers ever and this chart is one of his very best. With a Kenton-esque rubato introduction, Dave proceeds with a ballad style but hold on to your reeds, the double time tempo swings hard. With some great ensemble writing, Dave sends the alto soloist off in grand style. After some solo space the chart returns to the ballad tempo leading into two fermatas creating a dramatic ending. This is an outstanding chart! (4:07)SKU: ALJEM02004 -

Bold Journey
Bold Journey opens with an aural snapshot of the early, pristine land of North America- the land of the Louisiana Purchase before the bold and historic exploration that began in 1803 with Lewis and Clark. Immediately following the impressionistic opening of the piece, a robust main theme is stated, signaling the beginning of the journey. This energetic theme and the opening section’s more tranquil melodic material are juxtaposed, varied, and combined carrying the piece and the adventurous journey to its ultimate and exciting conclusion.SKU: AL22260 -
