Looking for intense cinematic works with a jazzy sound

Grade level 3-4 would be ideal, any length! Thanks!

Metroplex by Robert Sheldon. Although might be a little more intense than a Grade 4, especially for the woodwinds!

Check Ticheli’s Blue Shades or Omar Thomas’ Come Sunday (the latter of which is definitely harder than grade 4 but a good listen nonetheless the less).

Groovy Loops by J Scott McKenzie might be a little above that, but i think more of the harder stuff is just range-related. not sure about cinematic but thought id pitch in anyway.
