Mr. Suit and Tie (Jazz Band Gr. 3)

Mr. Suit and Tie is a tribute to the late Nick Mulder, which aims to capture the energy he brought to the bandstand: warm, clever, a little cheeky, and always impeccably put together. Featuring the Trombone section in a medium slow “Thad Jones” style swing chart, "Mr. Suit and Tie" showcases the ability of the trombones to dig in, but also to show the versatility of the instrument. This piece stands as a celebration of Nick’s musicianship and the joy he created around him, offering players and audiences alike a chance to know and remember him with a smile.
