Jazz Triptych
Title
Jazz Triptych
Description
Black composer David Wilborn composed "Jazz Triptych" for bass trombone and piano. According to Warwick Music website:
"Jazz Triptych was written at the request of English bass trombonist Jonathan Warburton. It is a setting of three diverse jazz styles in a concert setting for bass trombone and piano. Each movement captures characters and rhythmic features of a particular jazz genre. Although originally composed, each movement references the compositional style of historical masters who are credited for making their own style of jazz popular. The movements express the idea of the composer meeting each historical figure individually in an attempt to gain a better understanding of their jazz style. Figuratively, the composer sets out on a pleasant walk with each composer for an interview. The result is a fusion of compositional ideas in which both personalities (the composer and the historical figure) emerge. Each jazz style becomes an expansion of a hybrid jazz-classical style. The featured genres include: ragtime, tango and boogie."
