Commissioned by the Kentucky Music Educators' Association for its 2002 All-State Jazz Ensemble, the inspiration for this medium-advanced, up-swing release comes from the music of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Birdland, NYC's legendary jazz club. Though improvised solos are assigned to trumpet and trombone, chord sheets are included so anyone can serve as soloist. Mike's score calls for five trumpets, and the chart takes about six minutes from start to finish.

This challenging medium advanced Latin original hails from Mike Tomaro's extended work, Nightowl Suite, a musical account of a night in the life of the quintessential jazz fanatic. This movement finds our nocturnal fan going home as the city awakes for some much needed sleep after a night of listening to jazz. This movement can be played alone or programmed with the other two movements published separately. Duration ca 11:30.
