Final Fantasy VII - Cosmo Canyon (jazz arrangement)

[Muuurgh]

Debuted this arrangement back on 9/30 with my jazz/VGM group, The Hard Modes (I'm playing sax). I counted it in a hair too fast and ultimately rushed the melody--the groove definitely could have benefitted from us laying back a bit more. My excuse is going to be that this was the second-to-last tune of the show and I was amped up from how the night had gone to that point  

Also, fun fact: the groove was influenced by Bernard Purdie's work on Steely Dan's Home at Last.
