Splash (Score & Parts) (Eighth Note Publications) Vince Gassi

Three movements---""Windsurf,"" ""Floating,"" and ""Jet Ski""---capture the excitement and thrills of a day on the water. Ride the waves with the rhythmic energy and crisp harmonies of ""Windsurf."" Written solos with chord changes will have you cookin' in no time. ""Floating"" slows it all down with a beautiful, lyrical ballad for trombone with lush, watery backgrounds from the rest of the ensemble. Feel the spray in your face and driving momentum as you shoot the rapids in ""Jet Ski."" Cool jazz licks and high chops abound, providing litres of opportunity for everyone to share the water sports in this piece. Life jackets are a must!!
