I’ve been working with the Blue Saracens quite a bit recently at swing 46, so I decided to write a few charts for the band. The first tune is one that I wrote recently, and instead of writing a melody and then arranging it for five horns, I composed the whole thing at once.

The second tune is an arrangement of a tune I wrote more than 10 years ago, when I was in college. I had come home from a classical guitar lesson, it was a perfect 73 degrees outside, and I had no classes that afternoon, so I wrote this tune, entitled “73 degrees”. It’s fairly tricky to play, especially the bridge.

Hope you enjoy these new tunes and arrangements. Both recordings are from gigs at Swing 46, recorded using a Zoom H2 recorder, so the sound quality is not the best.
