13. Fifth Avenue
(Stan Barnes)
No Lyrics, but interestingly done.
13. Fifth Avenue. . Sometimes when we hear this title we may think of a place such as a street location. That’s alright too, but there is another concept that needs to be explored and that is from one of the definitions of the word Avenue… That of an approach to something or a path to it. In this song there is a blend of musical approaches from the Sax’s point of view. It has that old almost 40’s feel, but what is unique is how there is almost an acceptance to allow an approach that doesn’t discriminate against the different articulations that are possible by a saxophone, the squeaks, the falls, the barks. It’s different, but look past the traditional as you enjoy this piece that takes you past the normal 4 directions but then migrates to that Fifth Avenue.
