Creative and sophisticated but not
technically difficult. The lead trumpet range

chart from top to bottom! (5:00)

by Johnny Richards, arr. Victor Lopez

(3:40)

Track 33
Feather Report • Grade 3
by Kris Berg
……………………………………$48.00 USD
Kris Berg continues his successful string
of chicken-related jazz ensemble titles
with Feather Report. It’s a hip-hop/shuffleswing/
Weather Report kind of groove with
a written-out tenor solo and some meter
changes from 4 to 3 and back. Brass players
have a tough blow in this one, but it’s
worth it. Hip! (6:17)

Track 34

chart swings hard! (4:38)

Track 35

chart. Quality writing. (3:16)
