Description

Flight to Turkey is a crazy hip fantasy on Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The eastern grooves and timbres lay a backdrop for the exotic harmonies used to spice up the already riveting melody line. A tasty drum break, a marimba cadenza, and a big finish complete the picture. Cool stuff!
