Product Description

"Suspicious Package" is a work for Jazz Band/Jazz combo composed by Cullen Smith, a local Bass player and Music Educator in Oklahoma City. "Suspicious Package" saw its first draft created in June, 2022. Cullen Smith wrote the original edition in less than an hour after seeing "Snarky Puppy" live at the Oklahoma City Tower Theater during the Summer of 2022. Cullen's first words after completing the first draft were "That took a suspiciously short amount of time to write..." and as a result Cullen came up with the name "Suspicious Package" because it just sounded cool and fitting with the attitude of the music he wrote.

Later on, Cullen Smith would premier the Jazz combo version of "Suspicious Package" at the University of Central Oklahoma Jazz Lab in November of 2022. Cullen Smith would give his Music Education String Bass Degree recital in March of 2023 where he performed "Suspicious Package" along with two other works called "Suspicious Delivery" and "Suspicious Mixtape."

Cullen Smith has gained some notability from his community about the piece "Suspicious Package" and has since been asked to share it online for people to purchase a copy. For the first time ever, "Suspicious Package" is available to purchase from Cullen Smith through "ArrangeMe, A Hal Leonard Company."
