SKU: A0.862465
Composed by Michael Bomier. Contemporary,Instructional,Jazz,Standards. Score. 2 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #2008591. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862465).The jazz piano style known as "three-handed swing" was made famous, if not actually invented, by Boston pianist Dave McKenna. Here is a written-out, non-improvisational, original piece using that approach. The melody is either a single treble note or the top note of each right-hand chord, sometimes sustained through a change of the underlying harmony. The left hand plays a quarter-note bass line throughout, just as Mr. McKenna could do for hours on end! The piece is in an ambiguous key, using F# and F natural, C# and C natural, D# and D natural, for a sound that moves between E minor, C major and G major. Pedaling is optional. Approx duration 2 mins.
