about

This was a labor of love and based on the enormous respect I had for the late Chick Corea. TFJB was the first piece he wrote and recorded in 1966 under his own name (having served as sideman to many well-established jazz artists for many years prior to that). And although that is how I felt when writing the chart in 2009, recording it last year was certainly a sadder occasion, as it was only a few weeks after Chick's passing. Earlier in my bio, I mentioned that I had the pleasure of hanging out with him on three occasions. What I never had the chance to do, however, was to thank him for being such a powerful influence on me musically. This arrangement–one of the best I have ever written–is my way of thanking him now.

Tones For Joan's Bones is a medium tempo, straight-ahead jazz piece. This arrangement uses quite a bit of ensemble writing with room for a single piano solo in the middle. I also tried something new in my writing this time, juxtaposing piano trio against a small horn section, as well as the whole big band, interweaving the three groups. Flugelhorn, Bari Sax, and Piano take the melodic lead, with the full jazz ensemble instrumentation being:

5 Saxes | 4 Trumpets | 3 Trombones | Bass Trombone
Guitar | Piano | Bass | Drums

Composed by Chick Corea | Arranged by Tony SingingEagle.

I have been an “music arranger for hire” for over 50 years. Now, at 70 years old, time to start recording and releasing my own (backlog of 25+) compositions. My style is mainly Jazz in its many sub genres, scored mostly for Jazz Ensemble and Studio Orchestra. My main goal is not to “make it big” either reputation-wise or monetarily. I simply want people to hear my music. ... more
