about

The Long Way – Runions wrote this tune without words and titled it, and then asked New York-based vocalist Yoon Choi to write lyrics. “I knew I would set it as a vocal feature for Yoon,” Runions says. “Ironically, the melody is not particularly well suited to vocalizing - very large melodic range, large leaps, etc. But Yoon seems able to interpret anything.”

The tune opens with a beautiful duet statement from Yoon Sun Choi on voice accompanied by Brian Dickinson on piano. The horns take over the second statement of the form with the rhythm sections waiting until the bridge to join. William Carn takes a well deserved trombone solo spot here with Andrew Rathbun (tenor) and Brian (piano) responding with a free duet.
