Description |
Not proper ragtime or jazz but I call it it Rag/Latin/Classic Fusion.
This piece was originally arranged for a Clarinettist (as was 'Ragatina' and 'Silent Movie Rag')
It is basically an improvisation generously topped with jazz & blues phrasing. The L.H. dotted crotchet rhythm gives it a distinctive Latin-American 'lilt' and the ridiculously lavish arpeggio section gives it.... I'm not exactly sure!
The 'Lime Wedge' ingredient also features somewhere in the middle. I still remember my first Cuba Libre in Spain leading to a couple too many... |
