The school jazz combo starts back tonight! :bassist:

Finally have a couple of brass players and a bari player! Haven't had any in this group for a long time.
Trumpet, three altos, tenor, bari, t-bone and rhythm section sans guitar. Our vocalist is sitting out this semester - bummers.

The group will be split in half to meet the covid distancing guidelines. I'll have a bass player to mentor as well which is cool. I enjoy doing that. He was in the group way back in B.C. (before covid).

I have an original tune for the group to play with three horn parts. Will have to experiment with who plays what part but it should work. Here it is if you have nothing better to do. Horn parts are a little cheesy on the Finale playback. Hope we can borrow the vibes player from another group for the concert.

Playback from Finale (wav file). It should open and play without a download.

I like the composition.

Serious question. The horns sound cents low in tuning. It's like they aren't where they should be to my ears. Is it simply my lack of jazz appreciation?

Kind of a Peter Gunn/Mancini vibe to it.

I've been trying to establish a small school of neon tetra with very little success - only one survivor (he's tough). Are the cardinals more hardy?

OK, this is my response to @spiritbass ...

Neons are are actually easier to raise than Cardinals. Of primary importance is PH and temperature. A PH of 7.0 or less and a temp of 72F degrees plus is best.

Both require aged water (nothing out of the tap without dichlorination and cycled (30 to 60 days) before introducing them to an aquarium.
