(Level IV) Reverse Peephole, by Scott Arcangel. A curious, lyrical melody over a unique set of chord changes that flows naturally, but not predictably over a slow straight-eighth jazz feel. Flugelhorn, baritone saxophone & guitar share the melody as well as the solo space. Alto 1 doubles on flute. Lead trumpet up to high F. Recorded by the West Point Band’s Jazz Knights on the CD Commissions 2006. (8 Brass)
