Programme Note

For some reason we never seem to fully escape our formative influences. In this case it is the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s 1959 Time Out album, featuring the smooth, lyrical alto saxophone sound of Paul Desmond, as well as time signatures not yet widely heard by the general public on a jazz recording.

Why Grooves Unspoken? Because we do not speak music, we play (or sing) it.

Difficulty:
Intermediate
