Jazz Waltz/Afro Cuban 6/8

Why Worry – Version without doublings
…from the CD Berlin Cookbook
Ballad/5/4-Rock Groove/Bossa Nova
Duration ca. 12 min
The minor melody is stated first as a ballad then in a 5/4 rock groove. Solos are played over minor blues harmonies and are followed by a virtuoso sax soli. The melody comes back in a trumpet fortissimo, before everything turns fine in a soft bossa outro. Compared to the CD version all flute and clarinet parts have been rearranged for saxes.

Soft Rock/Afro Cuban 6/8
Duration ca. 10 min
…from the Children’s Songs Series
This arrangement of the German folk song “Der Mond ist aufgegangen” [Moon has risen] features a singer (baritone) and is packed with dense, warm voicings. Solos are played on a 10-bar minor blues in afro-cuban style. The song fades out in a scat solo. A challenging title to listen to and dream.
