JE: NosePrints Neil Slater

Written for and recorded by the North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band (Lab'99), this chart is a wonderful mix of an even-eighth feel and swing feel with the usual, wonderfully-interesting writing of Neil Slater. Flutes and flugelhorns are needed (in addition to the usual instrumentation), and there is abundant solo space for baritone saxophone and trombone. The brass ranges are quite modest, although the piece is challenging in other ways. Great music from a great big band composer! 5-5-5-3
