Moontide from QUINT5T by Marc Copland

Randy Brecker's tune provides a jumping off point for the composer, Liebman, and Copland. Of particular interest here are the different ways in which each soloist explores an extended section of one tonality, in this case B minor. Also of note is how the three play a game of musical tag---Brecker and Copland each starts off his chorus by answering the last melodic phrase of the previous player.

Marc Copland, recognized for his unique style, is a prolific jazz pianist and composer. A longtime resident of New York, he was a close collaborator for nearly a half century with both John Abercrombie and Gary Peacock.. He has released almost 40 lead and solo albums since 1988, and has been a sideman on dozens more.
