By Richard Clarke. By Richard Clarke. This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Broadway, Contemporary, Contest, Festival, Jazz, Musical/Show. Jazz Combo. 44 pages. Richard Clarke Colorado #1109108. Published by Richard Clarke Colorado (A0.1536053).The Sleuth was composed for the Colorado Jazz Workshop, who gave the first performance and refined the composition into what it is today. It’s a story, roughly based on film noir or mid-20th Century detective stories, with a host of musical cliches to match.
The seven instruments are divided into fundamental characters, namely, The Sleuth (alto sax); The Client (piano); The Cop (trumpet); The Judge (bass); The Mark (tenor sax); The Decoy (drums); The Bystander (guitar). The theme moves through a familiar structure of a crime/detective story, namely, The City (location); The Sleuth (maybe at their office); The Client enters (the problem is revealed); The Waiting Game (gathering information or a stakeout); The Tail (the target or mark is spotted - solos); The Chase (drum shouts); finally, The Capture (either by the camera or the cop).
This piece is a perfect concert, theater/dance or test piece that is effective without being too challenging. You will enjoy it!
This arrangement contains a RHYTHM MASTER, instead of separate parts for piano, bass and drums. Players are expected to comp and/or improvise solos.
