This song was actually made as a tribute to somebody who died, the piano is supposed to be his heartbeat. That's what the note basically says summed up on the inside of the score.

i was at a school jazz fest on thursday and the high school jazz ensemble (the best of the best) played this for our middle school band and i (the pianist of my band) got to sit right behind the pianist and watch him play it was so cool

This song makes me feel things

had the honour as an alto sax player to play the solo for this piece last year, we won gold nationally and was one of the best experiences I've had as a saxophonist

I saw two high school bands play this one after the other at a music festival.

Beautifully written piece and when I heard the story behind it this instantly became even more beautiful!❤️ Thank you Alan Baylock for creating this unique piece

LOVE THIS. The ending was copy-pasted and I think it was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have that motif overlap over itself at the very end so the final chord could be this cool held-out thing with lots of voices, but I love the layering of the instruments when the groove comes in, and that sax solo was so good
