Product Description

Bugs Bower composed several volumes of Bop Duets. Like so many other jazz musicians, my roommate and I spent countless hours playing through the volume we had, him on tenor sax and me on trumpet. Playing them is a masterclass in jazz phrasing, and studying them is a masterclass in the classic principles of counterpoint. It's a little bit like a Bach fugue. You start with a short catchy theme, and then let it go where it wants to go, but always building on that theme. I allowed myself a third voice here, which allow a little more richness. See also my Sundry Quartet, which adds a fourth instrument to the same basic music. Level: advanced intermediate. Duration: 3 minutes, 12 seconds.
