Forever Flower, The [Ken:52325]

Forever Flower, The. By: Thad Jones. Kendor Archive Editions. Instrumentation: standard jazz ensemble plus 5th Trumpet; all saxes have opt. doubles: soprano (alto), alto (clarinet/flute), tenor (clarinet/flute), tenor (clarinet) & bari (bass clarinet).

This accessible ballad, penned during Thad's later years in Denmark, is a rubato study in full-band expression. It opens with fortissimo brass, transitions to a quiet midsection showcasing saxes/woodwinds, then recaps the strong opening before going out very quietly with soprano (or alto) sax and trombones only in the final bars. No improvised solos are required. Duration 4:00.  .
