This is a hauntingly lush ballad. This medium tempo chart really swings as ascending dominant chords lay the groundwork for a memorable main theme, imaginative section dialogue, and a driving shout ending. Solo sections based upon expanded forms of the traditional blues progression give alto sax and trumpet plenty of room to blow. Sweeping melodic lines and lush harmonies give this medium tempo contemporary jazz chart its open, aerial flavor. Improvised solos for flugelhorn and trombone and the addition of optional ad lib.
Auxilliary percussion add to the magical aura.
Dave blends enduring qualities of traditional sonata form with the Latin-American spirit of the samba to create a truly original work.
