Jazz
Here is a concert in the park in Apalachicola, Florida with<\/strong>  <\/strong>
The Dixie Jammers<\/em> in April 2006:<\/strong>
I Found a New Baby  <\/em><\/a>    and  <\/em> Pennies From Heaven<\/em><\/a><\/strong>
The Dixie Jammers are: Jeff Drawbaugh – clarinet, <\/strong>
Michael McKenzie – trumpet, Elliot Toole – trombone, <\/strong>
Dennis Vale – keys, Steve Redmond – drums, <\/strong>
Jim Crozier – bass.<\/strong>
Concert recorded by TDGiddings<\/strong>

Here are a couple clips from a radio concert that the <\/strong>
Heightman-Crozier Quartet did in 1990 <\/strong>
on the program “Snatches of Jazz” <\/strong>
hosted (and recorded) by Mark Okasako. <\/strong>
Michael McKenzie – trumpet, Alan Heightman – guitar, <\/strong>
Jim Crozier – bass, Marlon Moore – drums <\/strong>
(Deborah Lawson sang on this concert but not on these tracks.)<\/strong>

These are two of my tunes:<\/strong> Sorry Charlie<\/a> and Shell Ladies<\/a>.<\/strong>

Here is the chart for a Jazz Samba I wrote long ago called:<\/strong>  The Winds of March<\/a><\/strong>

-> with the Tallahassee Swing Band<\/a>.<\/strong>
The Tallahassee Swing Band featured his 2007 composition: <\/strong>
” NOLA Swings <\/a>” at the 16th Annual Jazz & Blues Festival <\/strong>
at the Tallahassee Museum of History and Natural Science.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Classical type stuff
(Performance Materials Available to those wishing to play any of this stuff)

Sonata in G (for Double Bass and Piano)  –  mp3<\/a>  –  score<\/a>
I wrote it during the summer of 1977 and just got done putting it into Finale.


Here are movements from a String Quartet
String4tetNo1-1-Aggressive – mp3<\/a> – score<\/a>
String4tetNo1-2-Interlude – mp3<\/a> – score<\/a>
String4tetNo1-3-DarkWaltz – mp3<\/a> – score<\/a>
String4tetNo1-4-Excited – mp3<\/a> – score<\/a>

the first movement was actually composed in 1972 and recently put into Finale.

OboeAndStrings.mp3<\/a>
StringOrch-2-Interlude2.mp3<\/a>
StringOrch-3-DarkWaltz1.mp3<\/a>
StringOrch-4-Excited2.mp3<\/a>

Here is a String Quartet that I wrote back in 1979 as performed at a recital I did at
FSU way back then. It’s pretty neat, includes a lot of improvisation interspersed
with the notes written in the score. It is called “Pair of Deuces”<\/a>,
scored for Violin and Cello vs. Viola and Bass.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
