Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Difficult

Publisher: Jazz at Lincoln Center

The first movement, Flipped His Lid, is very much influenced by the energetic bebop that emanated from the end of the 1940s yet colored by the cool, linear harmonic movement of Lennie Tristano and Warne Marsh. Sherman Irby embraces the implications of Crenshaw's engaging chord structure with flow and optimistic spirit on alto saxophone. Stantawn Kendrick, on tenor, develops his ideas with playful clarity in the swinging hard bop tradition. Dan Nimmer’s solo finds interesting jumps and leaps, starting with only his right hand and referencing Tristano’s proclivity to leave out the comping (left) hand. Lenny's recording of his own composition Line Up is an example. Brilliant counterpoint is at the heart of the shout chorus, and throughout, Ali Jackson uses the drum kit to great melodic effect
