l Radiant Morning—Dan Torosian/
arr. Paul Baker.
A lush jazz ballad solo feature for
alto sax, tenor sax or trumpet/flugelhorn, Radiant
Morning features a full-ensemble introduction
leading into the beautiful and melodic solo. The sax
section takes over for the bridge before returning
to the full ensemble for the last A section. A brief
transition moves the tempo up to a medium swing
for an improvised solo over accessible changes
before returning to the original ballad tempo. Two
brief solo cadenzas lead to an ensemble coda that
supports the soloist to the end of the chart. Not only
is this a great solo feature, it's full of outstanding
ensemble material as well.
