CHICK This large ensemble work was inspired by Chick Corea and his group Return to Forever when they first appeared on the scene in the mid 1970s. This revision was completed in 2019, and features a solo amplified violin but may be performed with guitar soloist instead. This is a high intensity chart with lots of variety, not for the faint of heart. Kids, don't try this at home! Duration, about 8 minutes. 5 saxes (flute and soprano sax doubles) 10 brass, gt., pno. bass, drums and aux. perc. Lead trumpet to high E6. Though written for the large ensemble, it still works with the standard 8 brass and rhythm section without aux perc. As this revision is brand new, the recorded sample is an electronic playback of some of the highlights of the chart. Solos for guitar and or violin and piano.
