Is it just my taste, or has anyone else noticed how few between effective versions of his compositions are when he's not somehow involved? For all the covers of his stuff, I can think of relatively few that worked -- Roland Kirk and Bill Evans both did good "Alfie"'s, Steve Kuhn's "Windows Of The World", and just about anytime Luther Vandross has covered a Burt tune. But, mostly, something goes missing when Burt isn't waving the stick over it, I think. Am I missing some stuff? skip h

FAR too banal and insignificant to be the worst of all time. ELP might qualify as most self-important, pompous gits of all time, though Rick Wakeman's always offering a challenge to that particular throne...

arranging horns

Hey everybody, I'm scoring some trumpet parts and had a question if any of you gurus out there wanted to tackle it. Feasibly speaking, how far apart would the trumpets need to be in order to get a a full sound of harmony. I hesitate giving them all of the harmonies because they're tight. So I thought it would be logical to give them the main line played in octaves and let the harmonies roll with saxes and trombones. Rhythmically they're the same, I just wanted to thicken it up a bit. I appreciate the feed back, please feel free to email me personally so we don't take up zorn-list space. Kasra George Ahmadi
