Antonio J. García has taken Haydn’s “London” Symphony as a point of departure for his London Town Fantasy for trombone and orchestra. George Gershwin’s, “A Foggy Day In London Town, is the harmonic basis under the melody of Fantasy. The chord progression of the improvised section is entirely that of “A Foggy Day.” A “very hip,” optional, written-out solo is also provided. The superb piano reduction makes the six-minute London Town Fantasy ideal for performances on student and professional recitals; no improvisational skills are needed by the pianist. Listen to the midi version at Cherry Music’s website to determine if your skill level and that of your pianist are up to the challenges. This is a delightful addition to the repertoire - unique and refreshing. Some of the writing reminds me of the wonderful Wycliffe Gordon/Joe Alessi Mozart Requiem fantasy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqpjf65FpV0.
