Downtimewas written by one of the great jazz guitarists , Corey Christiansen, who happens to reside in Utah and teach at Utah State university. Corey has performed all over the world and was a guest soloist for this song at the BYU Jazz Festival earlier in the year. The arrangement was created by Vern Sielert, who teaches trumpet and jazz band at Idaho State University, and runs the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. This performance is a showcase for our guitarist, Parker Speirs, who is now studying with Corey. We took this recording from our performance at the Saultkrasti Jazz Festival near Riga Latvia.
