North Zephyr, The (Jazz Ens Gr. 4)

Evoking imagery of the boreal landscapes of Alaska and Canada, The North Zephyr draws from the ECM roots of Pat Metheny to create a floating, contemporary straight-eighth feel. An alluring melody and tasteful horn voicings will charm players and audiences alike. Solo space is provided over a hypnotic two-chord vamp that is equally suitable for both less-experienced and more advanced improvisers.
