Composed by Scott Ninmer
Inspired by Stephen Nachmanovitch’s book Free Play, this fast contemporary swing chart is built around a commanding tenor saxophone soloist who improvises nearly throughout. After a powerful late climax, demanding woodwind doubles shift the color before muted brass bring the driving work to a quiet close.
