Edition: JAZZ BIG BAND ARRANGEMENT

Description: SWING - DIFFICULT

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Up-tempo Swing. This driving, exciting piece explores changes from stability to instability and back to stability again. Quick, explosive motifs in the beginning of the piece give way to a developing ocatonic (half-whole) melody. A lush trombone solo out of time gives way to percolating backgrounds that build over time. Solo space for tenor sax comes next with a much more aggressive character. The piece ends with a solo contemplative piano drawn from ideas found earlier in the piece. Difficult.
