Cleansing the palette

This is supposed to be Jazz After Shopping.

For me, it’s jazz after composing.

It’s like a sorbet, cleansing the palette after a day immersed in the final section of the 4^th movement. This finale is based on an augmentation (slowing down) of the big tune in the bass – trombones, tuba, double bass. I’ve had the harmonic structure noted down in my notebook for a couple of weeks. I noted it down in Le Petit Lion (a wonderful old style bar in the Sablon in Brussels) while waiting for Raf. It's just two chords, but in my head, they carry the full power of high tide, the culmination of hours of movement, which is both random and symmetrical. This final movement of Tide condensed that into about 15 minutes.
