Purity of Intent and an Exquisite Choice of Notes is what Bach and Bird and all great music share in common.

— David Amram

 


Updream

 

5 saxophones (AATTB), 5 trumpets, 5 trombones, drums, bass, piano

Updream is a medium up-tempo original swinger based on the chord changes to Laura. There is solo space for alto sax, trumpet and piano. And the shout choruses after the solos really get stomping. A great piece to feature improvisers and a hard swinging ensemble.
