By Christopher Burnett. Composed by Christopher Burnett. Arranged by Christopher Burnett. This edition: pdf. Contemporary, Film/TV, Jazz. Jazz Combo. 29 pages. BurnettMusic.BIZ #800132. Published by BurnettMusic.BIZ (A0.1201511).ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR JAZZ QUARTET
This work is from series of 6 related pieces of new music that I have composed and arranged for a new "Originals" quartet that had its debut on Tuesday March 28 as the final concert of the 2023 season of the long running noontime spring jazz series at the Midwest Trust Center in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
The music is written and arranged for a modern jazz quartet. I perform on alto saxophone with the multi-talented William Crain on piano, the master bassist Gerald Spaits, and the brilliant young drummer Morgan Rogers. The mockup audio demos posted are among the first set of compositions written for our group. I actually wrote and arranged all of this music with each of these quartet musicians’ artistry in mind and to record an album. However, I truly welcome other ensembles to perform and program these selections of music too.
THIS MUSIC IS BASED UPON THE PHILOSOPHY OF ABUNDANCE (COVEY)
Scarcity Mentality is the zero-sum paradigm of life. People with a Scarcity Mentality have a very difficult time sharing recognition and credit, power or profit – even with those who help in the production. They also have a very hard time being genuinely happy for the successes of other people – even, and sometimes especially, members of their own family or close friends and associates.
Conversely, Abundance Mentality flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. It is the paradigm that there is plenty out there and enough to spare for everybody. It results in sharing of prestige, of recognition, of profits, of decision making. It opens possibilities, options, alternatives, and creativity.
