Jazz Suite for Flute Quartet

From the Publisher

Jazz Suite for flute quartet is a three movement work that features different jazz styles in each movement. The piece opens with Two-Hand Hot!, which is an up-tempo swing style tune that features intertwining solo lines for the entire quartet. KB Blues is a medium tempo blues with a classic style blues bass line and groovin' melody. This minor twelve bar blues includes an improvised solo section for the first flute player. The closing movement, Irregular Swing is a fast swing tune reminiscent of bebop classics, but with the twist of changing time signatures that keep the players and audience on their toes.
​
Jazz Suite was premiered by Ali Ryerson, Ellen Burr, Emily Senchuk and Billy Kerr at the 2017 National Flute Association Convention in Minneapolis, MN.
