Notes
The Way Up-"A great deal of water is flowing underground which never comes up as a spring. In that thought we may find comfort. But we ourselves must try to be the water which does find it's way up; we must become a spring at which men can quench their thirst for gratitude." This quote, from Dr. Albert Schweitzer, was the inspiration for the title of this track. The Way Up was originally the fifth and final movement of The Gussman Suite, a piece commissioned to celebrate the life of the late Herbert Gussman, businessman, philanthropist, art collector, and jazz enthusiast, who spent time in Gabon, Africa, with Dr. Schweitzer. The ostinato motive (played by piano and muted trumpets) is based on a melody played on the Ngombi harp, used in traditional Iboga initiation ceremonies of the Mitsogho, who live in the Lambaréné region of Gabon, Africa. To the Mitsogho, music is the "lifeline" that reaches from this life to the hereafter, and serves as a means of locomotion in visionary space. Originally scored for a larger jazz ensemble, this version of The Way Up was newly arranged for WW&SM@L on this recording. Nica's Dream-This two-tempo arrangement was originally written for Maynard Ferguson and his Big Bop Nouveau Band. The beginning bossa nova section was designed to feature Maynard's often-overlooked, lush middle register. Listen to John Rutherford's rich trombone playing on the second "A"! The second, faster section of the arrangement features a brilliant chorus by pianist Gary Schunk, and a challenging horn soli, which is a combination of the transcribed solos of Harold Land and Phil Woods, plus newly composed material. Maynard always loved playing on open "spacey" vamps, so one is incorporated here after the soli. It also offers a sonic breather before heading into Jeff Trudell's exciting drum breaks, Bob Jensen's soaring lead trumpet work, and the coda (false ending included!). Florence-I spent several summers in the late 1980s at the Banff Jazz Workshop in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, studying, teaching, and performing with the likes of Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler, and David Liebman. During a moment of musical overload, I searched out a practice hut in the woods and started playing a simple three-note motif (the ostinato for this tune) to clear my head. Practically writing it in fifteen minutes, I performed it that same night with a great sextet that included John Abercrombie, whose guitar solo from that first performance was the inspiration for the horn "soli" in this arrangement. (I lost the cassette after transcribing the first chorus!) Florence was a girl visiting Banff from France, whom I encountered in the woods while we were both searching for a beach along the Bow River. After a somewhat awkward afternoon on the beach (due to the language barrier), she enjoyed a couple weeks' performances at the jazz workshop, and then disappeared (from my world, at least). In the little time I got to know her, I was impressed with her simple yet beautifully expressive nature. A sextet version of Florence was recorded on the eponymous CD, Atlantic Bridge, and a full big band version was recorded on Being There by the Des Moines Big Band. The recording on this CD is from a new arrangement, written especially for WW&SM@L. Beauty and the Beast-I've always loved Wayne Shorter's beautiful, intriguing compositions, and I was enthusiastic when Bobby Streng suggested Beauty and the Beast as a trumpet feature. His great arrangement really highlights the composition itself and gives the band many chances to shine. The rhythm section and Gary Schunk's playing on the Fender Rhodes evoke a sincerely funky 1970s vibe. The delay effect on the trumpet is not only a nod to Miles Davis, but also to the experimental trumpeter/composer, Don Ellis. Thank You, Joe Martinez-This piece started out as a brass quintet (originally titled Maywood Quintet) and has been performed with electric jazz quintet. I wrote the Chorale Introduction on a lunch
