Here's a fun clip featuring Rob McConnell's writing for tentet. This arrangement of "Like Someone In Love" is one of the pieces I am preparing this semester with the University of Connecticut Jazz Ensemble. Our concert is on Nov. 6th at von der Mehden Recital Hall.
Note: This is not Rob's regular, Toronto-based ensemble. These are primarily New York musicians, assembled to perform at the 2004 New York Brass Conference, at Purchase College, where Rob was honored. The roster is: Tim Ries and Ted Nash on tenor sax; Lawrence Feldman on alto sax; Bob Milikan and Tony Kadleck on trumpet; Jim Pugh on trombone; Chip Jackson on bass; Kenny Ascher on piano and Dennis Mackrel on drums. It's nice to see Rob smiling during Ted Nash's tenor solo.
To contrast this performance, here is a performance by Joey Sellers' Jazz Aggregation. I recognize both Wayne Bergeron and Ron Stout playing trumpet in the back row. I am hoping to feature Joey's music with my UConn band in the not too distant future. It deserves to be heard!
