Description
SKU: WA.51613
Arranged by James Miley. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.51613).Commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival for the 2007 Next Generation Jazz Festival, this chart falls in that small space between Ornette Coleman and Radiohead, with a bevy of odd-metered phrases, several certified "dominant-free" solo sections and far too many hemiolas to count. After an aggressive Ornette-inspired unison riff in the horns, the tune takes a major left turn with a creepy bass ostinato underneath a crunchy ascending melodic line. Though the tune stays in 4/4 throughout (a remarkable first for Miley), many of the phrases involve oddly accented passages and/or seven or nine bar lengths. This is one great fun for the rhythm section and has some flexible solo space for alto, tenor, trumpet, tbone, drums and/or piano/guitar. 5,4,4,G,P,B,D.
