Bateman, Don - Spirituel á Jean-Marc

Spirituel à Jean-Marc starts with a gentle introduction, after which the soloist is encouraged to perform in an expressive manner with the judicious use of rubato; but in this context I prefer the term jazz feel. In the form of a popular song, the second 8 is a variation, the B theme (middle 8) increases in intensity, and in the last 8 bars the simple version of the A theme returns.
