EssÊncia

Inspired by the music of Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band, this piece opens with a hypnotic guitar ostinato, setting the stage for the rhythm section’s swirling harmonies. The horns weave a compelling melody above, while unexpected rhythmic hiccups keep the players on their toes.

Perpetual
Composed by Scott Ninmer
Originally written for four horns, this is one of my most structurally intricate combo pieces. Framed by a written piano solo at both the beginning and end, it transitions into an even-eighth feel, enriched with modern harmonic shifts and unexpected twists. The horns take center stage with a lyrical melody, while the rhythm section enjoys plenty of dynamic and playful moments.

Synergy
Composed by Scott Ninmer
Driven by intricate rhythms, this piece keeps listeners on their toes—despite staying firmly in 4/4. Its complex interplay of swirling harmonies and an angular melody presents a challenge, but the result is both rewarding and exhilarating.
