for SSA or SATB, piano, and optional bass and drumkit ad lib.
A highly original and effective concert setting of the Latin Missa brevis in which the various movements embrace a variety of jazz styles.

The bass part is notated with chord symbols and may be played as written or used as a guide from which the player may improvise freely.
