5 pieces pieces pieces 5 will be a major work for quintet that will develop new complex rhythms and harmonies. This multi-movement work will consist of contrasting passages, each with its own distinctive style, changing the tempos, rhythms, textures and dynamics. The set of pieces will challenge the technique of each instrumentalist, and challenge the soloist to improvise, reaching specific points into the solos where they develop the imagination, creativity and interpretation of the pieces. Premiere performances of 5 pieces pieces pieces 5 will occur during the Fall of 2007 at The Jazz Bakery.
