This is a smooth jazz piece built around Norm Harris' percussion using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set with the Aria player and a touch of tonehammer's Francesca sample set.

The tuning used is a JI set of intervals in 12 / octave setting that came with Aria. I find it works pretty well even with some of the bluesy things I do. That was surprising to me. 

Scored for upright bass, piano, clarinet, saxophone and female vocalizations and of course Norm's percussion track. 

Here is the tuning I used

I of course reserve the option of revising this piece :-)
