about

I composed this song in three for the recording date. The composition is two distinct melodic phrases set withing a simple harmonic progression. The solo sections are distinct and only reflect a simplified version of the harmony heard during the melody. Andy Ehling improvises over an open vamp to break up the form while Leonard Thompson and I play over the "changes". There's a simple background figure behind the last chorus of Leonard's solo. Sometimes, in an effort to avoid an obvious ending, I write a coda that takes up an inordinate amount of rehearsal time.
