Description
As recorded by the Dick Oatts/Mats Holmquist New York Jazz Orchestra (members of the legendary Vanguard Orchestra) on the album "Tribute to Herbie +1".
This is Holmquist's version on one of Herbie's most original compositions. Theme in three parts divided into the three horn sections creates an unusual sound. Solos for both tenors and drums. Interesting use of triplets against eighth notes at cadential points.
”Mats Holmquist is one of the jazz world’s finest composers and arrangers.”
