Edition: JAZZ BIG BAND ARRANGEMENT

Description: FUNK - DIFFICULT Portrait has been aptly described as a tone poem though it meanders through several incarnations. Lots of thick textures, doubling, and mutes. There are several soloist represented with a pixie-muted plunger trombone feature over a light, funky groove. Chart is for piano, bass, drums, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, bass trombone, and 5 saxes standard. Difficult. As recorded by the Gairo-Rissmiller Jazz Orchestra on Sea Breeze Records, 'Treacherous.'
