This was awesome! Do you have the instrumentation for this that you can send me? Or at least try part of what you did. =) Would like to try it for Black history month. Amazing job!

Hi Tiffany. I don't have the orchestration, but I believe it's in Doug Goodkin's book "Now's the Time." www.amazon.com/Nows-Time-Teaching-Jazz-Ages/dp/0977371212

[@ianwallace727]

Drums were a little heavy in hindsight.

With my mind, I greet you. With my words, I greet you. With my heart, I greet you and there's nothing up my sleeve.
