He became known for his melodies being incredibly complex and his solos even more so. He often took preexisting songs and composed contra- factions which utilize the same harmonic structure while having a different melody. “Donna Lee” is based upon the chord changes to “Indiana” and of controversial authorship as Parker is credited with composer rights albeit, Miles Davis claims it to be his first song ever recorded.The Jungle Book OvertureGEORGE BRUNSGeorge Bruns was an exceptionally versatile musician and composer. He was employed by Disney as a composer and arranger and eventually became their musical director until he retired nearly 26 years later. His work included “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life For Me ),” “Love” from Robin Hood, “Herbie the Love Bug Theme,” Sleeping Beauty’s Tchaikovsky adaptation, and the overture from The Jungle Book. The overture sets the tone for what was originally a much darker film and was later edited to be more suited to a family audience. Jimmy Herring, a remark-able guitar player recreated the overture on his first solo album Lifeboat.Fee-Fi-Fo-FumWAYNE SHORTERWayne Shorter is a prolific saxophonist and composer. He has performed with numerous artists ranging from Miles Davis to Steely Dan. He is also well known for his own compositions, which on occasion do not utilize functional harmony yet still sounding rather tonal. “Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum” is a composition from Shorter’s Speak No Evil, one his most influential albums.Àguas de MarçoANTÔNIO CARLOS JOBIM“The Waters of March” is an Antônio Carlos Jobim composition that has lyrics in English as well as Portuguese. Jobim wrote about Rio de Janeiro’s rainiest month and the generally macabre events that can be witnessed from the rain’s effects. Musically, the song also utilizes what appears to be a constant downward harmon-ic motion to represent the falling rain coupled with two vocalists likely representing the duality of the destruction and cleansing that comes with the rains. Alone TogetherARTHUR SCHWARTZComposed by Arthur Schwartz and with lyrics from Howard Dietz, “Alone Together” was originally introduced in the Broadway musical Flying Colors in 1932. This ar-rangement pulls strongly from the Cyrus Chestnut recording and employs meter changes, often between 5 and 4.Kennesaw State University School of MusicThe School of Music at KSU has dedicated, vibrant, and talented faculty and staff that are completely devoted to teaching, performing, scholarship, and serving our community.

Rosenwinkel has a remarkably identifiable voice instrumentally as well as compositionally, having a rather modern and sophisticated sound. “Under It All” is from his latest effort Star of Jupiter and is a ballad that shows Rosenwinkel’s ability to compose and perform on more than simply an intellectual level.Song For BarryMICHAEL BRECKERMichael Brecker was one the most prominent saxophonists of all time. “Song For Barry” is a Michael Brecker composition from The Return of the Brecker Broth-ers that was dedicated to the late trombonist Barry Rogers. Brecker utilized West African rhythms and the chord changes from Barry’s solo on “Un Dio Bonita” from Eddie Palmieri’s Son of Latin Music.
