Arranged by Tim Hagans. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.55384).

Ballad. Passing Giants was written in April of 1984. The deaths of Count Basie, Red Garland and Juan Tizol that month provoked the realization that so many of the innovators and heroes of jazz were passing. This arrangement, a trumpet feature, was written for Thad Jones and the Basie band. Thad, himself, sadly passed before the chart could be performed. Passing Giants is a lament but also a celebration of life and a thank you to the giants of jazz. Trumpet feature. 2 altos, 2 tenors, bari, 5 trumpets including soloist, 4 bones, piano, bass, drums. Recorded on Future North Norrbotten Big Band, Double Time Records.
