Suite M.D.
by Jarno Kukkonen
for tenor saxophone soloist and big band
Description
Suite M.D. on kolmiosainen sarja solistille (tenorisaksofoni) ja big bandille.M.D; Medical Doctor? Miles Davis? Ei, vaan Manuel Dunkel! Miles Davis ja Manuel Dunkel jakavat samat alkukirjaimet. Molempien maaginen muusikkous on myötävaikuttanut teoksen syntyyn tohtori Kukkosen alitajunnassa.Teos on syntynyt yhteistyössä solistin (Manuel Dunkel) ja säveltäjän kesken. Ensimmäinen osa rakentuu tasajakoisen grooven ja latinalaisrytmin välisen vuorottelun varaan. Keskiosa alkaa solistin ja orkesterin välisellä konserttomaisella dialogilla, joka muuntuu kauniiksi balladiksi ja etenee siitä blueshenkiseksi variaatioksi. Siinä voi havaita kaikuja Miles Davisin ja Gil Evansin yhteistyöstä, samoin Duke Ellingtonin ja hänen solistiensa dialogeista. Vauhdikas viimeinen osa rakentuu kahden urkupisteen varaan. Siinä tenorisolisti pääsee vihdoin hengähtämään kun 4. trumpetti ottaa loppuvaiheessa solistin roolin.
Teos on mahdollista esittää myös big band -kokoonpanolla ilman erillistä solistia. Tällöin 2. tenorisaksofoni soittaa solististemman.
