In Sea. Henry Wolking. Advanced.

Original

In Sea arranged by Henry Wolking. For big band. Medium - difficult. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing. WA.52477. In Sea is an up beat, joyous through composed romp written as a tribute to that master of jazz composition, Bob Brookmeyer. Brookmeyers works have highly influenced my concept of jazz composition technique and the possibilities for individualistic expression within the confines of the traditional jazz orchestra. This tribute was composed before the sad passing of this jazz titan. Bob Brookmeyer was a musicians musician who left an indelible stamp on at least two generations of jazz composers and performers. Im certain there will be many more. In Sea uses add 4 voicings, a tricky harmonic device used judiciously by Brookmeyer over many years. An add 4 voicing includes the normal avoid note 4th degree with the third in major chord configurations. Another device employed often by Brookmeyer is a sort of bubbling ostinato on unison notes with different rhythms. In Sea opens with this effect, and is followed by simple motivic snippets strung together to form miniature call and response ph.
