Nerves of Steele
Marshall, Steve
5 SATTB. Riffin' on the Itchen - Otterbourne Hill Blues - Colden Common Groove . Steve says: 'I wrote this set of pieces at the request of Mary Steele, who wanted a jazz piece, and this suite is just that – full of swinging ‘real jazz’, with little trace of rock, funk and easy listening, which are often introduced into the jazz mix (including by myself, on occasions). As usual with jazz on the recorder, Nerves of Steele is not particularly easy, but a conducted ensemble should manage fine, with some work. Unconducted one-to-a-part ensembles may, however, require nerves of steel to conquer these pieces!'
