Program Notes

Dedication: for Brian Lewis

Sharks is light-hearted and virtuosic, perfect for an encore. It utilizes a ½-step motif reminescnet of the famous “Jaws” theme, which expands into a big “Jaws-y” free-notation section towards the middle. Modified blues scales help to create a jazzy feel to much of the work.
