LISTEN TO THE ARRANGEMENT

A feature for Alto Saxophone

R.J. Becker’s Septet arrangement of Quincy Jones’ Quintessence puts the Alto Saxophone in the spotlight, supported by Trumpet, Tenor Sax and Baritone Sax with changing harmonic textures, double-time figures and echo-like “bell” backgrounds. The arrangement builds toward a final Alto Sax cadenza, bringing the featured player back into focus before the close.
