2.27.26: Jazz: Two-fold

Two-Fold is written for trumpet in B♭, tenor saxophone, piano, and acoustic guitar. The piece unfolds through clearly defined motifs that circulate between the horns, forming a measured, conversational exchange. Beneath them, piano and guitar establish a steady pulse and harmonic framework, sometimes sparse, sometimes thickened as all four instruments converge. Much of the material gravitates around G and A centers, with repetition used structurally to shape the form. The texture alternates between open space and layered activity, allowing phrases to breathe while maintaining forward motion. The result is reflective but not static — a work grounded in clarity, balance, and gradual harmonic evolution.
