Uptick
Arranger/Composer: Jack Stamp
Item Code: 29600
Publisher: C. Alan Publications
After a lyrical opening that showcases Stamp's mastery of counterpoint and polytonality, Uptick lives up to its name, driving forward with incessant quarter notes and an ever-ascending ostinato, freely passed around the ensemble. This one will keep you on your toes!
