Composed by David Lovrien. Score and parts. Lovebird Music #202. Published by Lovebird Music (LB.202).
Ballad, Blues and Boogie is a flexible, playable tour de force for concert band and jazz combo (piano, bass & drums). After an atmospheric introduction, the initial melodic motifs bloom into a lush jazz ballad with phrases trading between the piano and ensemble. After an introspective piano cadenza the trio settles into a lazy, cool, minor-key blues with space for open jazz solos. As the blues section winds down the drums pick up the tempo - inviting piano and bass to start an unstoppable boogie groove, gaining steam with each chorus. The primary melodic themes keep popping up, along with tips of the hat to the great boogie-woogie sounds of yester-year. Brass players with plunger mutes and swinging saxophones add layer upon layer of energy, alternating with solos from the jazz trio. It builds relentlessly to a final statement of the original ballad, and then it's "full tilt boogie" to the end!
