I tell you ..... after Tony told me. Alterned sticking is the key over up tempos.

It's a beautiful composition by Jacques Ballue, the pianist of the 4tet I play with.
The guy broke his leg last week in a motorcycle accident. I wish him a prompt recovery by recording one of his tune. :o)
This etude is in the chorus' and two parts.
Part one is chordal
Part two is more lines
Part three is chordal again.
Who can play it?
Had a little time today between classes and ran through Chick's composition "Desert Air". Chick and Gary recorded a brilliant version on their debut recording "Crystal Silence", one of my favorite recordings. I remember seeing Gary play this solo during the 70s at a club in Boston called The Jazz Workshop. It was spectacular. This is a great but tough tune with odd bar phrasing and unusual chord progressions and modulations.
