I met George at a famous Third Stream concert at Brandies in June of 1957 and worked with his sextet in New York and on tour in 1960 after a couple of weeks of rehearsals at the Lenox School of Jazz. Who knew then that those would turn out to have been the good old days. Sorry to hear of

I need help with choosing two articulations (this is using the Jazz font) for a trumpet solo transcription. The first is a slight bend down. I don't want it to look like a fall off. I chose symbol #71, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice. The second is a quick bend down and back up on

How do you guys deal with printing parts that are in layers e.g. Horn 1 and 2 are on the same stave in the score, Horn 1 in layer 1 and Horn 2 in layer 2, but I want separate parts for each. I understand the use of show current layer only in actually separating them for printing, but the
