Program Notes

After a brief free introduction, the marimba enters with a Latin groove before the vibraphone enters with the head. The entire piece is infused with jazz flavors from the talents of jazz vibraphonist Jon Metzger. Toward the end of the piece, there are opportunities for both players to improvise on provided chord changes.
