Welcome potential Big Band Odyssey participants.  My apologies that the following was not available at the begining of January.  I am excited about this musical adventure and looking forward to making and making up music in the wonderful place called Naramata.  If you want to contact me: crch@alumni.ubc.ca
 

Each piece we play will have its unique challenges, rhythmically, harmonically, stylistically or technically.   I am trying to collect a range of styles and difficulty levels (so don't be afraid!).  I think the following excerpts represent the most technically challenging pieces  we will attack.  Have a look at all of the parts to get a feel for the whole.

for lead alto, lead tenor, trombone one, trumpet one, piano, guitar, bass, drums.
 

Thanks for your interest.  Rob
