Fall (score & parts) by Mike Zilber
Fall is by Wayne Shorter, the living jazz musician who has had the most influence on me, both as a player and as a composer. This elegant, harmonically exquisite piece was recorded by Miles with the second great Quintet in the 1960s, and it is a malleable piece that can be approached a number of ways. To my mind it is a perfect 16 measure tune. The

This elegant, harmonically exquisite piece was recorded by Miles with the second great Quintet in the 1960s, and it is a malleable piece that can be approached a number of ways. To my mind it is a perfect 16 measure tune. The intro is quasi rubato for soprano and brass and spacy rhythm, there is a nice open section with an airy 12/8, featuring the guitar, melody with intricate horn counterlines, soprano and tpt solos with different BGs, and then a pretty interesting layered build for Tbns, Saxes and tpts, followed by an arch form reprise of the rubato intro.
