"Four" by Miles Davis, arranged by Mike Tomaro. The Valdosta State University Jazz Ensemble directed by David Springfield. Kenneth Edmondson, tenor sax
Wow! I never learned until now that Mr Springfield has some history with vsu! He was my District Jazz Band director and is one of the finest directors I've ever had. What wonderful memories!
Thank you for posting this, our Jazz Band is playing this in an upcoming competition, along with the piece Skylark. I have the Tenor solo, and neeeed to shape it into something more. Also need to work up that sax soli, even if most of my other friends can't play it, I'll make sure I at least can! Again, thanks so much (:
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!
