Big Band/Jazz Orchestra Charts - Studio recordings & Finale Realizations

The working title had been "From the Void", but I'm not sure that really works with what this has become. I'm now thinking about "The Four Winds". The solos are for Flute, Flugelhorn, and Violin.

From The Four Winds for Contemporary Jazz Ensemble

3 Horn Chart of what was originally scored for a much larger ensemble. This was a "project" (e.g, a composition assignment) that involved using four semi-randomly selected Chords as the starting point for everything.
This version is scored for Trumpet, Tenor Sax, Trombone, Guitar, Keyboards, Electric Bass, & Drums. Solos are Guitar, Trumpet, and Tenor.

This is a good first draft of a Big Band + Vocalist chart. I still want to go through and do some chord substitutions during the last version of the form (and maybe a few in the solo section). The solo section will be voice during the first two A sections and the voice and Bass trading fours in the B and last A section.
