Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Ballad - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

A moving and respectful tribute to Cannonball. This alto sax and bass feature reminisces on the ballad and medium swing aspects of Cannonball's playing. The piece begins with a free modal bass solo, the alto joins in, and time commences into a beautiful ballad. A laid-back double time section follows after which the alto has a chance to stretch out. The ensuing sections are based on my conception of some of Cannonball's more quirky stylistic mannerisms.
