Bop-Ras from Svadharma by Richard Brookens Jazz

Conceived as a Flamenco piece to feature the percussive footwork of that art form. The piece had to be re-thought when the lead dancer got lost on the highway during a rainstorm. She never showed up the night of the recording and then decided to drop out of the project. The other dancer I regularly worked with was out of town for the near future so I decided to compose a melody for Bansuri (Indian bamboo flute) and double it with bowed Acoustic Bass. Adding the funky Baritone Sax part also happened after we had begun the recording of the tune.
