Baltimore Jazz Works / Baltimore FreeFall Festival / October 28, 2018 / An die Musik - Baltimore MD
I’ve performed Jim’s music before. Months ago, I said why not write something that’s somewhat different from the standard fare, and this Latin/Rock tune is what came up. It begins with an 8-bar guitar intro. The initial motif heard in the 12-bar [A] section, is inverted and slightly modified during the first 8-bars of section [B]. For the remaining 16-bars of [B], it is heard again in it’s original format. Solos are over this form. Next time I’m going to ask Jim to write a non-12-bar blues.
