Afte
r the positive reviews of
Animal Jazz, the composer
was encouraged to write a
sequel of pieces that
would provide more of a
challenge to the player,
using diverse key
signatures, a wider use
of the piano keyboard
range and more complex
rhythms. Diving into
musical genres from
around the world I've
come up with this
colourful and eclectic
collection, where you can
find influences from
blues, jump jive,
ragtime, latin, disco,
funk and classical music.
In Who’s Harry,
we’re transported
to Africa with an
afrobeat groove,
reportedly invented by
Tony Allen, the Nigerian
drummer with Fela
Kuti·s band. Jump Jive
Jellyfish, as the title
suggests, has a lively
jump jive feel. The
well-known Cuban dance
style of Cha-cha-cha is
gracefully danced by the
Chickens, while our
Penguins are enjoying a
parade with a ragtime
flavour. In Brazil, the
Alpacas are holidaying
and dancing to a
jazz-style samba.
