Authentic Big Band Jazz is back in "Full Circle – 50 Years On" (from the 2022 Album, "What Was Can Still Be"). It was originally titled "One More Once" and was the first piece I ever wrote at university for the MSU Jazz Band in 1971. Mind you, the original version with its underdeveloped melody, sophomoric chords, and trite arrangement structure was nothing like this version. I took the tune and completely rewrote it in 2009. The led line was given to trumpet and bari sax, a sound reminiscent of Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams in the early 60's. The style is a medium tempo minor blues, which again takes advantage of melodic harmonization in the ensemble sections. This chart was scored for jazz ensemble, as follows: 5 Saxes | 4 Trumpets | 3 Trombones | Bass Trombone Guitar | Piano | Bass | Drums | Vibes | Congas The title has a very profound meaning for me. As I was recording this piece for the album last year, I realized I have been writing professionally for 50 years, albeit with a few gaps inadvertently inserted. So, to record this piece in a new, more technically proficient version, I feel I really have come full circle, 50 years on. Composed & arranged by Tony SingingEagle.
