This digital download features a live MP4 recording of the piece "A Fox Trot... Kind of... Waltz..." composed and arranged by Jason Keiser.
Recorded live from Jason Keiser's Masters Jazz Guitar Recital featuring the superb artistry of David Boyden (Fiddle), Jacob Jackman (Trumpet), René CantoAdams (Tenor Saxophone), Arnie Co (Piano), Alonso Sanchez (Double Bass) & Daniel Williams (Drums).
Program Notes from Jason Keiser in his Masters Recital states:
"The harmony and melody for this piece started and ended in just about 10 minutes flat! It was an assignment for my Jazz Arranging class, and I had a great time challenging myself to write with two specific parameters in mind.
Listen for the use of chords that move up and down in minor thirds, and use of the lydian mode throughout while maintaining the use of extended harmony and melody.
Although the tune rests easy in the vein of modal jazz, the goal with this piece and arrangement is to lend itself into more of a “jazz/spacegrass” subgenre. I want this piece to lend itself to both sub-genres and niches of jazz and bluegrass using similar instrumentation while bringing in a more modern jazz composing approach. This includes jazz quartet, and acoustic bluegrass style quintet. Enjoy!"

"The harmony and melody for this piece started and ended in just about 10 minutes flat! It was an assignment for my Jazz Arranging class, and I had a great time challenging myself to write with two specific parameters in mind.
- 1) Write in 3/4
- 2) Compose a modal jazz tune using the inspiration and guidance from the archetypes of the 1960’s modal jazz era.
Listen for the use of chords that move up and down in minor thirds, and use of the lydian mode throughout while maintaining the use of extended harmony and melody.
