Cobblestone Road

This pensive and brooding contemporary-style chart was commissioned by the USAF Airmen of Note and was recorded by the University of North Texas One O'clock Lab Band on their album Lab 2004. Within this medium-swinger, the melody is featured in trumpet and tenor saxophone, both of which also have improvised solos. Portions of the chart alternate between 4/4 and 3/4 time signature. In addition, the middle of the composition switches from a swing feel to a straight-eighth ECM feel. First alto doubles on a brief, simple flute part. Top note for lead trumpet is a written E3, and top note for lead trombone is a written C2. First alto doubles on flute.
