Transience

As recorded by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band on the RCA album Insights, this unique ballad featuring solo bari sax uses a variety of textures, dynamics and groove changes from swing to even-8ths to deliver its moody message. While some of the sax and brass section figures are rhythmically sophisticated, they will come together well with careful rehearsal. Duration 4:33.
