Anand - This piece features a trumpet soloist throughout and is based on the changes in "A New Approach
To Jazz Improvisation" By Jamey Aebersold, Vol. 5, "Killer Pete". Accordingly, the soloist can practice
his part utilizing the Abersold disk. The ensemble writing utilizes French Impressionist techniques
originated by Darius Milhaud. These are applied to jazz harmonies for some unusually colorful effects.
Scored for three flutes, clarinet and bass clarinet. The lead trumpet is written to a high "D" with
the solo trumpet to high "C". A full score is provided to expedite subtle balances in the ensemble.
