Pieces for Large Jazz Ensemble by Brian Stark
“We couldn't have picked a better composer for our first commission. Brian Stark gave us exactly what we asked for - a modern, hip chart with plenty of solo room and an exciting finish. Brian was easy to work with and the band really enjoyed our collaboration before the premier. I look forward to playing more charts from Brian Stark in the years to come!”
- Adam Kramer, Director, Southwest High School Jazz Ensemble, Ft. Worth, TX

“…Melodic, yet contemporary, with elements of rock, classical, jazz and other genres;
sophisticated rhythmically and tonally; self-conscious yet fluid.”
– Natalie Wainwright, Evanston Round Table
