Impressions

 

Here is one of the performances of Impressions I had listened to by the NDR Big Band. I liked the repetitive piano line at the beginning. Interesting to see music theory applications like ground bass making their way into jazz. I felt the performance of the piece was really high energy, each solo had a ton of flourish and movement.  The sound of the saxophone and guitar solos paired well together. I am surprised to see two whole drum features put in the song too. I thought the drums would not be able to hold my attention and end up too atonal or percussive, but I am glad to say I was wrong.
I really enjoyed the performance overall. It is neat to see other takes on a piece after you have played it.
