== Performance Notes ==<br />
The concept of this piece is a play on the word “Djembe”. As the story goes, a man sets out on a boat to find a precious stone “Gem”. He sees an island where he is sure that he would locate the Gem. He encounters a group of people dancing all around. And as he gets closer to dancers, he can hear this wonderful sound/groove and wonders what exactly it is. Much to his surprise, it was the sound of the “Djembe”. He shouts out “Listen to The Sound”. There is an optional “open” [[djembe]] solo prior to everyone coming in on the third bar. The actual [[djembe]] solo is 16 bars in length, but it could be longer depending on the conductor/performer. A solo on a pan/ [[marimba]] / [[vibraphone]] can be added after the [[djembe]] solo as an additional option. They can improvise over the I, IV, V7, IV progression, cued back to letter E and play to the end.<br />
