Jazz Waltz/Afro Cuban 6/8
Duration ca. 8 min
The catchy folk-like melody is dressed in counter-parts and new harmonies over and over. After a 3/4 rock-interlude the piece reaches its climax in a 6/8 afro-cuban groove with collective improvisation.
Compared to the CD-version all flute and clarinet parts have been rearranged for saxes.

Moonwalk (Vocal Arrangement)
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.
