Tailspin

Written with two solo sections for any soloist throughout the ensemble, and with one eight bar section at the beginning and the other open ended vamp section half way through, this relaxed work lends itself to both ensemble and solo performers. In addition, there are two contrasting musical sections which blend well. Written for five mallet players on bells, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba (treble) and marimba (bass) along with an electric bass and drum set player. Multiple opportunities for solo performers to shine.
