Following on from the success of 'A Musical Fantasy', composer, Ennio Salvere was commissioned by Kunstfactor to write a new work in 'Broadway Musical style' for their Swinds Project. (Swing for Winds). This time the composer was inspired by the more blues and swing style musicals, (like Chicago and Cabaret). The composition opens with an easy 'medium swing' which is followed by a more melancholy blues. The last part of the work is in a happy 5/4 beat and then closes with a reprise of the introduction. In addition to the regular orchestra, piano, bass and drums have been added. There are also so called 'Side Skills' included in the score and parts, which can be used as Warm Ups for learning the composition.
