You must have a few concertos that you really like. Pick a favorite that's dear to your heart and go for it! Maybe pick one that can't ever be perfected or hasn't been perfected yet? The Copland hasn't yet been master, because I talked to Copland and he felt that people play it too fast and not with a jazz feel at all. They try to single or double tongue a pile of notes as fast as they can and this isn't the jazz feel he was looking for, such as in Rodeo, pieces like that. So step back and listen to his recordings. He wrote it for Benny Goodman, who we all know as a classical and jazz player, but it was taken too classical. I must say that Eddie Danials had a good time with the piece. Everyone should check it out. That's probably as close to what I think Aaron Copland had in mind. It's on youtube I think. Copland may not have totally approved of it, but it surely was what he had in mind. Eddie got the audience into it. It was surely fun.
