I
composed this piece together with a good friend
of mine; Anne Zwaga who happens to be also a brilliant
tenor sax player.
This
composition was an assignment of the Dutch government.
The composition had to reflect the traffic on the
old situation and the new one, thus after the new
highway is build.
In
this piece you can hear the traffic running on a
crowd Highway. You'll hear also an ambulance including
the so called "Doppler" effect, you get
that when a car with sirens is passing by.
This
piece was written for a Highway called A7 (In the
Netherlands) that was very crowded in the beginning.
But when the new highway was finished the traffic
problem was solved, you can hear that more towards
the end of the piece.
It
will not surprise you that the main chord of this
piece is the A7 chord, that the line-up consists
of 7 parts (i.e. trp, alto sax, tenor sax, trombone,
e. guitar, bass and drums)
