about

“Boot the Boot” is based on the same 36-beat rhythm as  “Oriki,” but disguised.   I wanted to do a piano-less tune where the contrabass clarinet talks to the bass.  Again, I’m trying to move beyond boundaries between “rhythm” and “melody:” after all, musical time always manifests in tone, and sound is always temporal.  Here I owe a special in debt to Santi Debriano, who joined the conversation so readily, and to Royal Hartigan, who naturally negotiates so many rhythmic modulations.   I end our sojourn by moving from the bass clarinet to the tenor saxophone with “Lapriyè Djò,” which, as you might notice, is an elongated version of “Prayer of the Primal Wind’s” beginning.
