Empyrean Isles - One Finger Snap

One Finger Snap

This composition features a short melody played in unison (which is only used as an intro, an ending and to tie between solos), followed by a chord progression without a written melody, going straight to improvisation. The Real Book has the first chorus of Freddie Hubbard's solo written as if it were the head.
