POETRY, RANDOM THOUGHTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT....
Radical Totality 
Sweeeeeeet.
I thought you would dig this. I was pretty happy with this as a start. It’s not an easy improvisation because- like a lot of jazz- the tonality is kind of ambiguous. (It’s kinda sorta in the key of C. There is a raging discussion in the class forum among the rock players as to what key it’s in. My reply: “Welcome to jazz.” ).
