The solos section is mostly based on a parallel progression (min7 moving down in thirds). Soloists are guitar or piano and Tenor Sax 1. Some doubling is required: Alto 1- Flute; Alto 2-Soprano. This piece was originally recorded by the Nashville Jazz Orchestra on their album …And Points South. 8 Brass

My Point of View (as recorded by the Nashville Jazz Orchestra)

Medium tempo (Doubles: Altos Flute/Soprano; Tenor 1-Soprano. The basic groove is based on an open vamp up to the soprano solo where it moves to a medium swing feel. The piece features the alto 1 (on soprano) and either the guitar or the trumpet 2. Like a good movie, the piece gives a lot of hints before fully developing into a mix of exciting rhythms, counterpoints, full ensemble passages, and power chords, all of it tinted with very nice touches of orchestral colors. 8 Brass
