“A Cool Six” is a small tribute to Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck. Two giants who renewed jazz just after the Second World War. Miles Davis with his modal “cool” jazz and Dave Brubeck with his unusual timing. “A Cool Six” combines concepts of both gentlemen. A simple melody alternated in E-dorian and E-minor in a 6/4 beat time, however, including all characteristics of Big Band Swing Music. The title of this piece refers to the albums “Birth of the Cool” from Davis (1957) and “Time Out” from Brubeck (1959) Both albums inspired Mark Hendriks to write this mesmerizing piece for Concert Band ánd Big Band!
