Vista
Andy says: "I wrote most of 'Vista' while on a summer vacation with my family near Banff Alberta, and I'm sure the breath-taking mountain scenery had an affect on the outcome. Overall I was going for a feeling of space or openness with this composition. The 6/8 feel with eighth notes grouped in two's is obviously African-influenced, and was in fact inspired by a piece from Mauritius that I happened to hear on the radio."
Other Features:
- Solo space for baritone sax and drums
- 6/8 feel and 3/4 feel

Red River Mud Pie
Andy Says: "The tune is essentially a long-form blues in F with a clapping 'breakdown' section followed by a more rock-oriented section in G for your guitar player to solo on before the melody is restated in a D.S. al fine. I’ll admit the feel on the guitar solo is closer to Magic Bus by “The Who” than a real Mississippi blues!"
Other features:
- Clapping parts for horns
- Easy trombone parts
- Strong bari sax part

Shuswap Shuffle
Andy Says: "'Shuswap Shuffle' is named for beautiful Shuswap Lake in British Columbia. The piece was written with high school-level bands in mind and combines an accessible high-energy feel with some rhythmic and technical challenges. One important consideration for the band director is the creation of an authentic shuffle feel. Although written in 4/4 the underlying feel is 12/8, with all eighth notes played in a long-short triplet subdivision."
Other features:
- Solos for anyone
- Improvising on the blues scale
- Optional ranges for trumpet 1 and bari sax

The Phone Don't Ring Jack
Andy says: This composition is a loving homage to the great Canadian trombonist/arranger/composer Ron Collier. The title is from an impassioned speech Ron once gave to a first-year jazz ensemble at Humber college warning of what their fate would be in the music business if they didn’t practice and get their “stuff” together. And yes, I was in that ensemble. The Phone Don’t Ring Jack is a feature for trombone, with a trumpet solo on the double-time section. The trumpet solo could just as effectively be taken by one of the saxophones in the band. The difficulty level is advanced, with a challenging lead trumpet part (up to Eb) and fairly complex rhythms.

Game On!
“Game on!” is a driving rock tune that’s a nice closer for your set. It’s a high-energy feel that your students can really dig in on. The melody is catchy, and the tune moves along with purpose. A great crowd pleaser! Sample solos are provided for alto and tenor sax.
Other features:
- Easy rock feel
- Optional fills for drums provided
- Improvising for alto and tenor sax
