Before the last days of summer escape us, Clay and I took a field trip to Laurelhurst Park for our Duo Chronicles song this week.
“Legacy” is a tune that I wrote a couple of years ago and have played in a variety of contexts, from a saxophone quartet arrangement, to an electric jazz/funk group. This particular version (just melodica and saxophone) is the most sparse instrumentally that I’ve done, so we relied on a lot of counterpoint-style improvisation to get through.
Check out the sheet music to get an idea of what we were working with.
wow cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
its jackson
As a melodica player myself, I am fascinated to see it used in a duo with a sax – although obviously in terms of volume the sax will always win!
