When you play what you feel and you got a band as big as this to play along with you, you can really "feel" the music.
    yea thats not a bad size ensemble.. but im surprised there were no saxes at all!

    but did u guys get a chance to improvise solos sometimes? or were ur parts always written for u?

      You're right, I did leave out the saxophone. We also had one saxophone player as well.

      The main piece was written for us to play, but we always improvised our solos. It was actually a lot of fun.
