about

Brony musicians everywhere have been all a'buzz with the release of this new tune "This Day Aria." With it having been remixed every which way already, I found myself thinking, "What would Queen Chrysalis do?" Then this little number was born. In a way, it dabbles with deception from numerous angles: harmonic, thematic, etc. Amusingly however, the deceptive cadence itself is never used explicitly. Double deception?!

A gentle but I hope slightly eerie-sounding piano introduction warms things up with the familiar tune over an unfamiliar progression. I wanted it to sound vaguely like a reminiscence. With a SNAP, this gives way to a hard bop rendition of the aria with Coltrane and I each taking solos.

I am interested in how many of you will respond to this track. Aside from being intentionally, ridiculously, undanceably fast, it bears no hip hop beats or other conventions many of you have grown accustomed to in my jazz pieces. This is hard, straight-ahead bebop.

Personnel:
Piano -- Yourenigma
Tenor Sax -- John Coltrane (Yes, THAT John Coltrane)
