This arrangement was commissioned by Antoine Colin and the WE big band from Hasselt (Belgium).


It features Antoine Colin and Louis Dowdeswell, so it was meant to give prominence to their hight register playing abilities. If your bib band ever needs range or register adjustments let me know. I'll gladly do it.
