Jazz Me

Written and Recorded in 1999

A Jazz-oriented composition I wrote in 1999, based on an idea I had left in a form of sketch recording about a decade before. The initial sketch one was played by the guitar and was somewhat aiming at something closer to the image of Joni Mitchell's Black Crow - something like Crossover Folk! I used the idea for the intro, alternated by the piano, and naturally expanded the idea for a tune written for the sextet; guitar, bass, drums, piano, organ and woodwinds. The purpose of composing and recording this thing was not to show my ability in playing Jazz but the opposite; to show my inability to do so.
