Precipice by Machado Mijiga

Enjoy three versions of the same composition, each with its own spin.

In November of 2020, I was commissioned by Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble to compose an original piece to be submitted for deliberation by a panel of judges (Darrell Grant, George Collican, Marcia Hocker) for PJCE's "Composer Cook-Off" event; simultaneously a competition and a fundraiser for PJCE.

The competition was "Iron Chef" style, where all competitors were tasked with composing a piece that used the same "ingredient"; that ingredient being some reference/nod to Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" (AKA "Never No Lament")

I feel fortunate to say I won the competition, and I walked away with a piece that I'm quite proud of.
