the orchestra music seems to be set very linearly but what miles play on top is very free

@heru1966 im doing an A-level composition based on cool jazz in the style of Mr.Davis especially the sketches of spain album trying to get this down on paper (or Sibelius) is the most difficult thing i have ever done but it is so rewarding listening backto it thinking that bar took me an hour but it sounds so good :)
