Over the past decade, Boston's venerable Handel and Haydn Society Orchestra has explored the affinities of classical and jazz music in a yearly concert featuring such illustrious improvisers as Dave Brubeck, Marian McPartland, and the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars.
The orchestra would play a classical piece, the jazz performer would play a jazz piece, and the idea was for the audience to make the connections between the two.
This year, the lines are blurring, and the connections are more explicit: The jazz improvisations, this time by vibraphonist Gary Burton and pianist Makoto Ozone, will be based entirely on classical compositions.

 Big Band Vibraphone
This places a burden on anyone wishing to perform on vibes with their school's band - unlike the other members of the band, a vibraphonist must create his or her own part for each arrangement.
Often, the band director will simply present his vibraphonist with a photocopy of the guitar or piano part, but it would be better to seek out the score - one can draw from the horn sections as well as the rhythm section in creating a vibes part.
Those vibraphonists who are not four-mallet players can still borrow from these piano and guitar voicings.
