Frequently, one is in search of a suitable ensemble piece where each member can present himself with a playable solo part. "Welcome to New Orleans" offers you and your musicians this possibility. Using a fast swing rhythm, the author describes in this composition the modern and the old New Orleans and its colorful history. Due to its compatibility---available are editions for saxophone, clarinet, and brass quartet---this piece enables you to put together your own small New Orleans band consisting of a clarinet, trumpet, tenor saxophone, and trombone. That's almost like playing music in the good old times!
