Danza Caracteristica for guitar performed by Manuel Barrueco. Original composition by Leo Brouwer.
The percussive arrangements in this video were composed and arranged by myself. Pianist and writer Ethan Iverson proposes a good question concerning jazz, classical, and the idea of 'Third Stream' music: what does the drummer do? I've been interested in the idea of a rubato melody from the perspective of rhythm and the drum kit, and how to compensate in such a situation. This is no new or groundbreaking idea...I was just trying it out for myself. Playing with an actual classical guitar player would, of course, be more difficult due to dynamics. Maybe this is ridiculous in this context, but it was a fun experiment.
