A tune that I wrote for the Josh Couts quartet a good while back. The title is supposed to read “the Mo You No”. I was thinking of it as an anti-Mo Brooks tune, but it was mislabeled on the album.

A short transcription of one of Lee Morgan’s B sections on Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers‘ recording of Moanin’, which include the iconic quote that pops up from time to time.

For Bb instruments.

Great concert with Mark Zaleski, Josh Couts, Preston Jackson, and Luke Mantooth last night. This was following a two day masterclass for jazz students by Mark, hosted by the UAH jazz program.

Tomorrow night I’ll be with Josh Couts, Choko Aiken, CJ Brown, and Don Aliquo at the Note in Huntsville. Should be a fun night of original jazz.
