James has drawn from his experience as a college and school jazz band director to create this original and clever ‘bluesy’ work in D-minor for handbells. A typical bass pedal line is malleted supporting all the syncopated fun. He has included optional bass and drum set, some ‘mallet gimmicks,’  and a 16-bar percussion section that may be omitted.

Handbells used:         5 - 6 octaves

Handchimes used:     n/a

Optional:                  bass and drum set

Level:                      3+
