Level: 4
Tuning: Standard

Composed by the great jazz composer and piano player, Randy Weston, when he was living in North Africa and most notably recorded by South African pianist, Dollar Brand consequently the influence of North African music on this piece is strong and is echoed throughout. This adventurous, harmonically rich, atmospheric and evocative tune has become something of a jazz standard today. John breaks down the three distinct sections and explains the harmonic thinking behind the piece.

John also teaches ideas for an improvised section based on the chord harmony of the piece. Beautiful dissonance, counterpoint lines and most importantly a magical melody are the pillars of this piece.
