I recently had a piece premiered by the Manhattan School of Music composer's nonet! For this piece I tried to focus on linear writing and avoid relying on a harmonic background as the unifying aspect. The piece is scored for jazz nonet - alto tenor and bari saxes, 2 trumpets, trombone, vibraphone, bass, and drum set. is conducted by myself and features solos by Davide Sgarra on bass clarinet, Joey Curreri on trumpet, and João Rosa on vibraphone.
