Days On End
Rachel Eckroth's "Days On End" is a unique and modern jazz composition with a masterful display of counterpoint, developed motivic themes, modal harmony, and modern orchestration techniques. Featuring a cutthroat fast tempo, "Days On End" offers a pro-level group a wonderfully satisfying rhythmic challenge. The piece was originally featured by the JOI Jazz Orchestra from Las Vegas, Nevada led by jazz trumpeter Kenny Rampton.
There are three diverse improvised solo sections throughout the piece - for soprano sax, for trumpet, and for the entire sax section as a group, as a dynamic and exciting coda to the piece.
