As commissioned (and recorded) by the SWR Big Band of Stuttgart, Germany, this chart was inspired by the birth of the Curnows' newest grandchild. It opens with a shout, and settles into a free-swinging, fun-filled romp, with a great melody and interesting changes, Featured soloists are alto saxophone, piano, drums and trombone. You won't be able to get the tune out of your head! The CD on which this piece is recorded is Towednack, Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band (available from Sierra Music). 5-4-4-4. |
