Due to Covid-19 The Bob Curnow Big Band was not able to
record this piece live. What you will hear is a Finale midi playback. We ask
your understanding and look forward to being able to provide a recording of the
great Curnow Big Band in the near future
 Hear the music! See the music!
Bob Curnow is well known for his many arrangements he has done of the music
of Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays. Here
is his take on one of the PMG’s most popular tunes (finally). First recorded on
the “Off Ramp” CD, it has been
recorded many times since. Bob’s arrangement features solos by tenor saxophone,
guitar and trumpet, working through the three key centers as the PMG versions
do. It takes some mature soloists to sustain the improvisations. The writing is
pure Curnow, employing lush ensemble and smooth, interesting counterpoint
throughout. Here is your chance to add
to your Metheny / Big Band Library.
