Latin Jazz Soars High in "Mountain Nights" (from the 2022 Album, "What Was Can Still Be"). This piece was originally composed in 1982 for my combo Spectrum3 while living in the Rocky Mountains. I finally got the chance to do a jazz ensemble arrangement of it for this album. The piece is in a Cuban Bolero style in G minor and relies heavily on melodic harmonization, rather than just static chord changes. The melody is stated by the electric piano and vibes, with solos being taken by tenor sax and electric piano. The chart was orchestrated for jazz ensemble as follows:
5 Saxes | 4 Trumpets | 3 Trombones | Bass Trombone
Guitar | Piano | Bass | Drums | Congas | Vibes
Composed & arranged by Tony SingingEagle.
All VST instrumentation performed by Tony SingingEagle.
