Bob Curnow has written some marvelous arrangements of Metheny/Mays music in the past, and this chart surely belongs to that wonderful "new" big band literature he has created with such pieces as "The First Circle" and "Minuano." This piece was originally recorded on the "Speaking of Now" CD, and it is scored to feature solo space for alto saxophone and trumpet. Modest ranges (tpt. high D only) make this a very playable chart in a medium/latin setting.  Eight-plus minutes of amazing music!  5-4-4-4 (opt. 10 brass parts)		If you know "The First Circle" or "Minuano," then you'll have some sense of what this incredible composition is all about.  The chart is almost 700 measures long, and it contains all of the elements that we've come to expect from Metheny & Mays ..... a latin/fusion feel, meter changes, amazingly expressive moods, and very, very exciting music.  If your band wants another Metheny/Mays/Curnow challenge, this is it.   5-4-4-4 (with opt. percussion and opt. parts for a 10-brass section)
