Work Overview
For many years I had wanted a motor bike. After a few friends of mine bought scooters, I decided that might be a fun thing to do too. It was! Of course, like with any major event in my life, I got asked if I was going to write a piece about it, and at the time I had just started work on a mellow blues tune. The vibe really fit with the Vespa, so I named the piece Jazz Vespas.
As I am not really a trained jazz musician or pianist, my music is often not the easiest to play or solo over. I tend to twist phrases and harmony in ways that the player might not be expecting. So every now and then I try to write something that is 'normal,' so that my players don't have to stress out counting odd-numbered rests or play in weird time signatures over chords only a drummer could come up with. This is one of those pieces, a simple blues.
