Three Blues (1995)
Two versions: Clarinet and Piano, and Alto Saxophone and Piano: Grade 6-7
Each of these tuneful and colourful jazz-inspired movements – Carefree Blues, Meditative Blues, and Agile Blues – is a portrait of the character of a clarinettist colleague.
‘Clever, sophisticated examples that are less limited than most of their kind, being closer to concert repertoire, and well worth exploring’ -Gordon Egerton, Music Teacher magazine
Both versions were revised in 2024, with some movements transposed and some changes of detail. The earlier edition is now out of print.
