"Jump Scher(z)" from Act One: New Works for Flute and Piano by Today's Most Celebrated Broadway Composers
"Jump Scher(z)", like its name implies, is partly a scherzo and partly a jump (as in “Jump, Jive, and Wail”, not as in Van Halen), although purists may claim that it’s simply a fright. Either way, the point is to playfully poke fun at the conventions of recital decorum while making good music. Please enjoy, and don’t be scared. You never know what’s lurking around the next measure.
A quite relevant fact here is that David played tenor sax in the Woodson High School jazz band and sat next to Janet Axelrod. David wisely gave up the sax. Janet wisely did not give up the flute.
