"Riffs for Everyone" from Prelude, Fugues and Riffs
Preludes, Fugues and Riffs is essentially a small concerto for clarinet and jazz ensemble. In this section you can hear the tension created by juxtaposing the freedom of jazz with the more controlled elements such as the fugal passage between the clarinet and piano.
