Sounds great, Bill! Wonderful chart, great voicings and even ample rest for the brass (I'll still recovering from Night Blood, Iberian Fantasy and No Exit from our days together on Buddy's Band) and what a brass section! Bob Sheppard is as always a wonderful soloist. Fantastic band of some of LA's finest and even a couple of ex Western NY'ers too (Bob Sheppardand Bob McChesney. A true pleasure to listen to! Sadly, I didn't see this 7 years ago.
You'd fit into this wonderful trumpet section perfectly, Tony, you're a hell of a player!! Bob Sheppard is from Trenton, NJ and also lived in Philly as a youth. Bob McChesney is from Baltimore. Bob Sheppard went to Eastman, perhaps that's how you associated him with western NY. Joe La Barbera's from Mt. Morris, NY...so there's a member of the band from Western NY :)
This is SO GOOD! Thank you Bill Cunliffe for such invention in harmony, and to take so many wind and brass instruments SO FAR into new very harmonious realms of band with your amazing piano forte of wood, felt hammer on string harmonies and rhythms: . PERFECT. Thank you for another road finely travelled with inspiration in MUSIC!
