The latest in my series of "Compositions of a Stupid Autistic Mind," which are either repetitive on purpose or are just stupid little melodies I improvise. Why? It represents the annoying things I used to do as a child, which proved to my parents I really am autistic. This whole series of compositions are based on dreams I have from time to time, which are flashbacks of my childhood. These repetitive melodies, therefore, are generally either things I improvised and they stuck with me, or were based on things I discovered I remembered wrong. Alternately, they're sometimes relevant to a current event in my life, or just represent what mood I am in right now (or otherwise tell the story of my life).

This one, entitled "Nothing I Can't Handle," was going through my mind while at work this morning. I've been listening to a lot of jazz lately, and there's at least one jazz number I've been considering arrangements for, but haven't found the motivation to start. (I'm not going to tell you what it is just yet, although I hope it's not a disappointment.) I said to myself, "It's nothing I can't handle," and thus, this was born.

Using the big band template, this is for:

---

2 alto saxophones
2 tenor saxophones
Baritone saxophone
4 trumpets
4 trombones
Jazz guitar
Acoustic bass
Drum set
Piano
Vibraphone

This arrangement (C) me and me alone
