I'll see if Dave Barduhn is still in Portland!
Or maybe I'll just grow a little ambition and do an arrangement myself! Sorry about the JinBao commercial, Joe! I hope it wasn't one of my guys!

Would the arrangement be playable with Jinbao instruments?!

That's great to hear!
I played hand written Drum and Bugle corp arrangements by Dave in the '80's, and the Jazz Choir at Central had a lot of his arrangements done during his tenure in Ellensburg. Those were the glory years, when the Central Jazz Band and Choir owned their divisions at the Berkely Festival

There are some things that should be left alone and not transcribed. Parliament/Funkadelics is one of them. Brass quintet is WAY too square to handle "Tear The Roof off the Sucker" (Give up the Funk)--That's the actual title of the song btw. The Mothership Connection is just way too deep man.

Hey!
I can make my Tuba sound as "funky" as I want! And I play with some cats who are anything BUT square!!!! The horn player joins the two trumpeters in a number of local Jazz groups on 3rd Trumpet, and the Trombone player reminds me of the greatest player (IMHO) I ever heard, Bruce Fowler!
