THE STORY: On 19 January, we were rehearsing A WALK IN JURASSIC PARK for its IMEA World Premiere. I was having a hard time explaining to the players, most ofwhom were in the jazz band interestingly enough, that the piece had a “groove”. Being hired as jazz players and only doing the concert band out of duty, they weren’t turned onby concert music. Jazz Band was the next day, so I wrote this chart, copied out the parts, and showed up at 1pm. By the end, we were all laughing and having a good time. Iessentially took A WALK IN JURASSIC PARK... of all things... and turned it into a simple, straight-ahead blues swing chart. The next day at concert band, they loved the music somuch, many of them came up and said, “Hey, I never enjoyed concert band so much!” So, it helps, of course, if you've played A WALK IN JURASSIC PARK... (now called Inthe Beginning). It completes the picture! Godspeed and I hope you enjoy!
