Jazz Quintet - Woodwind Quintet #1 (score & parts) - WW5

Jazz Quintet - Woodwind Quintet #1
for wind quintet - flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon

by Ed Bland (1926-2013) - American composer, "great-grandfather of Hip-Hop

Commissioned by the Quintet of the Americas, this 3-movement, 10-minute composition swings and is very colorful in its use of timbres. Highly polyphonic and rhythmically complex, it is driven by a cyclical treatment of material.
