Clear the Decks! Op. 21 (orchestra)

Additional Information
The longer orchestral version of a boogie woogie originally written for a jazz big band. It follows, for the most part, a typical blues structure, albeit with a large number of substitute chords. Rather than attempt to replicate the jazz character of the big band piece, it has been re-thought in terms of orchestral techniques and sonorities. In this respect, the omission of saxophones and drum kit is significant.
