Life in Three Grooves

Though not due to COVID-19, the year 2020 saw the deaths of three great musicians and composers and sources of my own inspiration: McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, and Nikolai Kapustin. This piece is a tribute to them, written as a sort of exercise to answer my question: "How might these three greats write a piece based on my little tune?" I hope to have both captured their individual style while also maintaining my compositional voice in this three movement work for alto sax and piano.
