They opened with a very slow introductory beat and picking up and slowing down tempo as time elapsed. There was obvious synchronization of Elongation’s being and swing musical composition and classical symphony influence that had been recomposed.

This song gave the audience an overall introduction or feel for what would be played throughout the concert. I believe this was a great musical piece to open with because It was brilliantly arranged to give the audience a taste of the swing, along with the complexity of the orchestra. The second piece played was Arab Dance originally composed by Tchaikovsky(1840-1893), and arranged by Gel Evans. This classic famously composed for the play the Nutcracker, Is complex and very well arranged.

This song put the audience into a trance like state with its deep classical melodies, but also incorporated use of the saxophone and trumpets. The third piece that was played was Modern Opus by Bob Gartering. I believe this defines the concert because it was originally composed as a third stream piece of music. Included a lot of Alto Saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. You Go To My Head composed by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie, also arranged by Bob Gartering was played next, this is a very complex arrangement.

Heavily influenced by the classical music and orchestra, but also included improvisation of Jazz melodies. The Shoes of the Fisherman’s wife are some Jive-Ass Slippers composed by Charles Minus and arranged by Sys Johnson Is a wonderful sound. This was my favorite piece played. Has very Interesting sounds of flutes, and beautiful Plano solo. This was the last song played before the concerts Intermission. Opening up after intermission was the Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs. Composed by followed by Horace is Blue composed by Ran Blake and arranged by Ken Chapters.
