a jazz-pasacaglia for pipe organ

Une passacaille d'un style très particulier, construite à partir d'une suite d'accords de jazz mais traitée par endroit en pur contrepoint..
A pasacaglia in a strange style, mixing jazz harmonies and classical counterpoint.
I have called this music "jazz" because I started writing it when I was improvising in jazz style on my piano.
I have kept the chord sequence and repeated it 16 times.
The sequence (12 bars) if made with 3 suites of chords typically jazz.
Bars 1 to 4 are a standard anatole : Em9, A7, D7M/9, Bm7
this anatole is repeated once with a small change bar 8: Am7
A 2nd anatole (introduced by Am7) is bars 9 to 12: D7, G7M, C9/#11, Bm7
The bass thema is not a true thema but only the root and the 5th notes of each chords, with very small amount of other notes.
It sounds strange also because a note (B) is played 1 octave to hight. This is due to a small mistake in my sample set.
