Classy with outstanding musicianship and writing

Really interesting blend of styles. That was a fun listen!

@joe-bowers-837479862: Had to practice my trombone for this to keep up with Len on the sax.

Really like the groove in this great track!

fascinating composition, Dave, enjoyed the many stylistic elements put together expertly!

Collection of jazz-related songs I have written of the last several years. Much "thanks" to Len Cagle, tenor saxophone, who was featured in many of the pieces.

Blues Etude No. 4 "Goodbye" feat. Len Cagle - saxophone, Dave - Piano

YouTube: https://youtu.be/MDfgSB9BRcE Photos used in this video are the gardens of our former Queen Anne Victorian house in Pennsylvania. Cover pastel is by my wife Janet Heffner. The music composition was originally written for a ballet production about the artist Henri Matisse. The trumpet was chosen when writing the lead part, since I consider it to be a very colorful instrument. Bruce Klepper's (https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1) arrangement skill brings out some rich harmonies in the saxophones and brass sections. He also worked on improving the overall brass timbres. I was inspired in writing this song by posting the word “colorful” over my keyboard for a few weeks.

This original fast-paced performance contains elements of modern jazz, big band, indie rock, and electronic pop. Thanks to "joerxworx" (https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx) on tenor saxophone whose improvisational and tonal skills are clearly demonstrated.
