The Brussels jazz pianist Bob Gay composed several excellent original marches, but left their wind band orchestration to his friend Peter Laine. The combination of Gay's humour and inventiveness on the one hand and Laine's rich orchestration on the other creates really great pieces, such as this fine 'little' march.
