Program Notes:
Premiered by Michael Burritt and the Eastman Wind Ensemble conducted by Mark Scatterday at the Chicago Midwest Clinic in December, 2009.

RIFFS is a one movement composition in three sections which include a fast swing, a heavy medium swing and an afro Cuban finale that turns the wind ensemble into a huge jazz ensemble with the jazz drum soloist leading the way. There is an optional cadenza where the soloist can choose to work out a call and response section with the percussionists.
