Description:
I composed this work in 2010 under the title "Nu-Bossa". This first version had an unusual instrumentation, including two electronic organs, so in 2012 I rewrote it as a large wind band composition and changed the title to "Manta Scramble". This work is basically a bossa nova, but with an inserted swing part featuring a saxophone section. The title, "Manta Scramble" is the name of a diving spot near Ishigaki Island, Japan, known as a point where you can encounter manta rays at close quarters.
