Work Overview
This peice was written to feature the distinctive and highly original trombone of James Greening. In performance the opening Eb minor vamp was extended as a trombone feature, which then returned after the three melodic statements (at letters A, B & C). The main idea is that the composed ensemble sections are played quietly (drums can use brushes). The idea is establish a quiet momentum throughout the piece.
