9 - 5

Story Behind The Song

While in the cool jazz idiom, 9-5 nonetheless cooks up some excitement. Girdler uses 9th chords (both major and minor) as basic building blocks which center variously on G and C, a 5th apart; hence the name.

Song Description

Piano opening of simple melody and complex harmony leads to hard-charging interplay with trumpet and sax.
