Work Overview
This is a boogaloo based on the 12-bar blues form. It makes use of pentatonics and sus chords, as well as extended harmony. It could be performed without the harmony line (tenor sax part), and without Latin percussion; however both of these parts contribute to a fuller interpretation of the work.
