footprints - by wayne shorter - work in progress

i like this piece of music because its in 6/4, which creates a different groove. its a sort of riff that can be a lot of fun to improvise over - whether you're playing jazz, schmazz, or razzmatazz. its all work in progress anyway - trying out ideas - with respect to all the great players who've been here before.

Hello again Patrick, I liked this very much. Great control of breath even in the wild depths of improvisation. The variation of sound is astounding. Would be good to get this into the tango pieces- I think it is worth the risk. Dancers with real bodies will love it- the others can go and drown their sorrows in the bar. Love Angela

Hello again, Think this is the most exciting piece- liked it very much. The jazz pieces have great depth and excellent control whilst containing a wildness of improvisation. I would love to hear some of this stuff in the tango - think it 's worth the chance. Of course you will leave the empty dancers behind - they can go to the bar and drown their sorrows. Love Angela

Nice mellow tone. Great rendition. Would sound cool with a live band too.
