Musician's or Publisher's Notes

"Solar Rays" epitomizes the terms "genre-busting" and "crossover" or maybe as we say in the software world, "cross-platform." The original version was for a classical piano trio of Piano, Violin and 'Cello and now we have the Big Band version of the same piece. Both versions bring out different aspects of the music.  Even in the Big Band version, you'll find some classical influence, particularly in the treatment of the melody and thematic development.

"Solar Rays" was performed as part of the Composer Concordance 'CompCord Big Band' concert, March 5th, 2018 at The Cutting Room in New York. The video is by Eddie Papetti.
