At the beginning you hear Big Stuff a popular hit Bernstein later recordedas a single and made famous by Billie Holiday. Bernstein’s music is comprised of a fusion of different genres from Latin-American to Popular and Classical to Jazz all of which are footprints in his inimitable style.Available here as part of the Hawkes Pocket Score edition (No.1135) is the Study Score for Bernstein’s popular ballet Fancy Free.

'Counterpoints' for Jazz Bass and Ensemble. Commissioned by Britten Sinfonia. World Premiere given by Eddie Gomez and Britten Sinfonia Milton Court London 18th November 2015. The solo part written for Eddie Gomez uses improvisation throughout. Various motives have been provided in the bass part creating a particell which includes the most prominent orchestral elements of each section. It is expected that the soloist will develop these ideas freely and in dialogue with the orchestral musicians.

The work opens with a dramatic brass fanfare before moving to a spirited allegro. The slower middle portion is rather jazzy in character with a trumpet solo. After several statements of this lush song the faster music returns before the opening fanfare reprises closing the piece in dramatic fashion. Includes generous cross-cuing to enable performances with smaller instrumentations.
