This intermediate-level arrangement brings the infectious rhythms and pioneering spirit of Morton's composition to the woodwind ensemble, allowing musicians to explore the rich textures and vibrant energy of early American jazz.

This demo is an invaluable tool for rehearsal and individual practice, helping musicians achieve a cohesive and spirited rendition of "Grandpa's Spells."
