from Bobby Watson
For the finale [of the BOBBY WATSON SET], I have chosen a song written for my son Aaron entitled Ode for Aaron. It was originally recorded and performed in the quartet or quintet mode. Don has once again come up with a highly effective sextet arrangement. This piece is a Calypso, which moves in and out of swing. The tempo may be moved up or down with great effect although I recommend the former.
Before rehearsing this piece, take a moment to count the number of bars-you'll be surprised. This will also help the performer to hear the piece, which has no bridge. It was inspired by Wayne Shorter's composition E.S.P. It's a simple straightforward statement meant to be played as one big crescendo.
