Abstract
Composition for small jazz ensemble.
Joy and Jubilation is inspired by Ornette Coleman's melodic approach and the interactive nature of his groups, his band Prime Time in particular. Bernie McGann's influence is also apparent in this composition. The form encourages open ended improvisations from the individual soloists as well as providing scope for group dialogue. The melodic approach applies a folk-like vernacular to a small-group (jazz) framework.
