Description

A good Big Band swing, with the theme for trumpet, tenor sax, and guitar. A tenor solo followed by a trumpet solo, then a tutti. The rhythm section stays swing in “half time” throughout the piece, except for the final tutti where the bass and drums “walk.” I composed this theme on the TGV between Lyon and Paris while watching the landscape rush by at high speed. (A little nod to the Brussels Jazz Orchestra…!!!) Enjoy the reading…!!
