sgcim Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 I've been fooling around with arranging "African Flower" for guitar, and was wondering if Duke wrote any other small group, modern, modal sounding pieces like this.Anyone know of any? Quote
JSngry Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 Modal? Sorta? It's been covered, but it can be done better... Quote

Some great Harold Ashby takin' it out. It definitely had modal qualities, quartal harmony, static tonal center, etc..., but I was just wondering if he wrote another tune like African Flower that could also be adapted into a solo guitar arrangement. Chinoiserie would be hip for a quartet, though. It sounds like Gordon Goodwin was trying to write something like Chinoiserie on one of his more experimental charts that we play. It Quote

It seems a bit on top of the beat to me, I'd like it to lay a litter deeper in the pocket. But it's certainly enjoyable as is. Quote
