lyrics

Five Chords was written just a few years back for the Kingston Jazz Composers Collective. We played an earlier version of this in Kingston. I took this version and adjusted the parts for the seven piece group. Compositionally this tune initially tries to use a set of 5 different chords in a cyclical pattern to create the harmony for the first melody. This is stated by the bass and then the tenor sax. After the opening section each soloist (tenor, vibes, guitar) gets a slightly different passage to play over - Unlike many jazz tunes, this tune is through composed, we never return back to the top to restate the initial melody - just one long development.
