Chamber Ensemble Alto Saxophone & Marimba/Percussion (alto saxophone, marimba (4.5-octave), vibraphone (3-octave), bongos or congas) - medium

SKU: CN.05810

Composed by David J. Long. Score & parts. Duration 13:00. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.05810).

A unique theatrical showpiece for alto saxophone and one percussionist. The scenario is a run-through rehearsal in which the saxophonist keeps messing up. When the percussionist finally gets fed up, he starts playing a swing pattern on hand drums and chords in the vibraphone. The saxophone joins in with a bluesy solo over top. The middle section features improvisation in a 12-bar blues. After they finish 'playing around,' the two players finish the composition they started rehearsing in the first place. A lot of fun to play and watch!
