37.) Hugger January 14, 2014
PDF SCORE
Hugger is another attempt at using one of Messiaen's modes to create a bebop line over a standard progression. This time I chose Gershwin's Embraceable You and mode four. Mode four was more difficult to use than mode three, which I had used a couple times in this way. But I think I've written a decent line with a lot of unusual choices. Sometimes it's nice to play over a standard.
