Showcasing the luminary composers of American jazz, Stephen Bulla has created this rich and varied symphonic setting for mature bands. The medley opens with the cool and sophisticated Miles Davis standard “Boplicity”(from the landmark Birth of the Cool album), and follows this with the emotive ballad “'Round Midnight” by Thelonious Monk. Duke Ellington's upbeat classic “In a Mellow Tone” brings everything to arousing finish.
