4. Grand River
(Stan Barnes)
4. Grand River. Talk about up tempo and Exciting!!! When you think of Grand River, what comes to mind? Well some of us think about a Street that seemingly goes everywhere, from Downtown in the Heart of Detroit to way, way out to the peripheral circulation of our brotherhood in the suburbs. But while that is true, you’ll notice that Grand River has a strong none changing set of background chords that start at its beginning and supports it for the duration of its trip from one end of Grand River to the other. This kind of says that people are the same no matter where you go. You’ll notice as the song goes to its change. It’s like going from City to Suburb, where things slow down and pick up depending on where you find yourself on Grand River. The Alto Sax plays second to a melodic Vibraphonic, Celeste. As they both endeavor to capture the uniqueness that Grand River offers.
