Now in Two Flute Flavors is two movements of crowd-pleasing and somewhat-challenging jazz. The first movement, “Some Restrictions May Apply,” lies between cool jazz and big band. A walking bass underlies trumpet-like “bops” and relaxed, slightly-dissonate syncopation. “Bent Key Boogie” is the second movement and offers fast-moving boogie-woogie that features a wild 12-bar piccolo solo backed only by bass. Scored for 4 C flutes, picc, alto, bass, and optional string bass. A bit more than 4 minutes performance time.
