Carol,
You weren't specific about whether Jon Sass actually wrote the music or simply played it. Try this link--they have a "Meltdown" from a composer named Taylor.

Good luck!

Try http://www.jonsass.com/contact.html if you haven't done so already.

I could be wrong, but I think that Meltdown was just kind of an impromptu jam session -- with no real sheet music. (at least originally)

If you are looking to do the same you could transcribe the basic form and groove and recreate it the same way.

Meltdown is a published piece, I bought my copy directly for Jon Sass himself at the 1998 ITEC.

You could check the CD booklet for where you might buy it, but Steve might have already done that for you.

Edit:

looks like the same info here, I'd send them a fax:

Looks like Jeff Funderburk conducted a performance of it, maybe he knows where to get it?
