Closer Than You Think

Looking for a perfect change-of-pace for your next program or festival? This beautiful ballad gives you the opportunity to showcase either your alto sax, trumpet or flugelhorn soloist. The pensive melody is beautifully supported by the rich ensemble writing. The entire solo is written out, however the soloist may take tasteful liberties with the melody when appropriate. The entire ensemble is well-exposed as well as the melodically beautiful and lyrical solo part. This is a style every developing jazz musician should learn!
