This publication is based on a set of parts and a reconstructed score that George Russell worked on with an assistant. This newly created score was based on the original, which had apparently become too difficult to read. Featuring a clarinet soloist, originally played by Buddy Greco, there is no getting around the fact that this is a very advanced composition. There are many spots where sections are playing against each other in 3/4 versus 4/4. There are polytonal harmonies, off-beat accents, meter changes, and, if that isn't enough, a polymeter section where half the ensemble is in 3/4 and other half in 4/4! Needless to say, it will take considerable work to play this well. But, it would make a great concert or festival piece!
