Jazz Ensemble/Big Band Charts
I've written a few big band charts to date, some on commission, and all keeping within my general style, I think. I only currently have studio-quality demos of two of them, so the sound quality of these demos will not compare favorably with my vocal jazz demos, but they should give an idea of what the charts do.
