Chamber Concerto
Despite the classical-sounding title, the surface level of this work imitates the ‘cool’ jazz style of the early 1950′s. Meanwhile, the underlying structure is based on rather rigorous serial techniques, which has surprised every listener so far. This light, rhythmic movement may be played alone or with the rest of the Concerto. There are plenty of chances to improvise in this non-tonal context (but written solos are provided for the faint-of-heart).

Nobishnobin for jazz ensemble
Nobishnobin is a mysterious tune with latin flavor. It is not tonal, but the changes are nice to play over. Chord symbols are given for tenor saxophone soloist and piano and guitar accompaniment; drums and bass have written parts as a basis for improvisation.
