JAZZ ENSEMBLE - "The Road Not Taken" was commissioned by the McPherson High School Jazz Band (McPherson, KS) in memory of Ben Richter. "The Road Not Taken" alternates between an even eighth ECM'ish style (based loosely on the tune Morocco by The Rippingtons) and sections of half-time funk feel. Written solo changes are in Tenor 1 and Guitar, with a final solo section that was written to add increasing soloists to build the chart to its conclusion.
