This semester at MSM in completion of my Master's degree I gave an hour long recital of original big band music! This was an amazing band and I'm so thankful to been able to have my own original work performed and transformed and brought to life by these musicians. This tune is "Cyan," which I originally wrote for my quartet in undergrad. My professor at MSM Mike Holober described it as a "character study," so for the big band version I decided to expand on that idea. It features Estes Cantarero-George on Trombone, Bryan Cowan on Bari Sax, Danno Petersen on Drums, and Bruno Tzinas on Trombone.
