O Sacred Head Now Wounded (from Jericho Horns Volume 1)

A saxophone feature that is very cool. It would be described in jazz terms as a sort of modal tune. A little bit of Miles Davis sneaks into this arrangement. This arrangement has a great feel that musicians will really enjoy and is excellent for them to learn about. Grade 2
