Birds from Another Planet is a seven-part composition for big-band. Each of them is based on one symmetrical scale defined by Olivier Messiaen and maintained in a different jazz style. The scales were used mainly in a big-band arrangement, but often the construction of individual improvised fragments forces soloists to use symmetrical scales, in jazz commonly not used as a separate color or timbre.
Piotr Scholz - composition, conductor
