Roger Schmidli

Duration: 5’25” Level: 4

Program Notes:

Sub Zero is a bright jazz shuffle in the style of New York’s legendary Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. The title reflects the composer’s memories of

his first visit to hear the band at the Village Vanguard in New York City during the depths of Winter. Standing in line outside awaiting

admission to the late show while hearing short busts of the band’s roaring first set when the front doors occasionally opened, the temperature

outside the venue was 7 degrees below zero - Celsius of course! For this Australian composer, used to a much warmer climate, it was a freezing

but memorable wait in the snow - one that was rewarded tenfold when finally admitted to sit in the warm glow of the band’s iconic sound.

Performance Notes:

The jazz shuffle feel from the drummer is of paramount importance and listening to a Thad Jones chart such as ‘Big Dipper’ is highly

recommended to get the essence of the groove. The drummer has licence to pick up as many figures as possible within the melody during the

band tutti sections and this is encouraged.

The trombones in the opening must focus on playing with great conviction to create an energetic and exciting statement to launch the chart.

This chart is very much an exercise in attentive ensemble playing. Strict adherence to marked dynamics and articulation throughout is essential.

While the lip trills written for the trumpets and trombones are desired, it is possible for the band to leave these out if not comfortable and

replaced with a well-shaped sfz with short crescendo. Solos can be opened out with extended repeats where desired and other members of the

band featured at will.

About the Composer:

Roger resides in Melbourne, Australia where he is a professional musician, composer, conductor and music educator. As a trombonist, he works

in theatre, and has recorded for television and movie soundtracks, performing in the past with the likes of Ray Charles and Jerry Lewis. He is

also a long-time member of the Daryl McKenzie Jazz Orchestra.

Roger studied music and music education at the University of Melbourne. He is currently teaching instrumental music and conducting a range

of ensembles at Carey Baptist Grammar, alongside performing and composing.
