Jazz Dances Arranged for Cello and Piano
A concert work arranged from 'Dances for two pianos'
The 9 pieces pay mischievous homage to the rhythmic intracacies of popular dance forms. They were originally composed as Dances for 2 Pianos, but have been re-scored in versions for piano and orchestra, woodwind ensemble and symphony orchestra, in which versions they have been called Concert Dances. This version for cello and piano created by the composer in 2001 for cellist Martin Rummel is given the more apt title Jazz Dances.
