The Marriage of Classical and Jazz, part 2
Pianist Bill Mays returns to lead us step by step through a recent composition of his called "Fantasy, Movement One." He shows us the motifs and elements as they progress, calls out where improvisation led the players away from the printed notes, and introduces us to the tones of the other musicians on the session, who are Alisa Horn on cello and Marvin Stamm on trumpet and flugelhorn.
