Studio Jazz Writers Suite

Spring 2018

These pieces collectively represent musical caricatures of teachers and colleagues in the Studio Jazz Writing Program at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami (2018). Inspired by their respective musical tastes and character, each piece is "walk-in music" for the person the track is named after, as if he or she were walking into a room in a television show. Each of the pieces were either written or co-written by Tom Kelley and Hanako Henty in the spring of 2018.

Clint Bleil - bass clarinet, baritone saxophone
Tom Kelley - alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, flute
