After returning from a wonderful retreat full of outstanding performances and presentations in the field of jazz arranging and composing, I'm back at work, finishing up my arrangement for the Strings Music Festival Brass & Percussion Ensemble before taking off for Spain in a few days. I have some great inspiration for new music as I head into the summer.
