JE: Daybreak Dean Sorenson

Inspired by an early morning sunrise, open harmonies and a straight eighth note groove give this chart a very contemporary feel. An excellent point of contrast in a program, the simple but memorable melodies will connect with audiences and players alike. The FlexJazz series features very easy arrangements with completely flexible instrumentation. Written solos are included for all instruments, and only four players are needed in addition to the rhythm section. (Easy Rock 2:05)
