Great jazzy sound! And this may sound like a dumb question but why is the heavily accented downward slide written in the beginning when you actually begin with the second half of the second bar?
For once I made a pick-up bar. It was spontaneous, but I found it to good to exclude it. Technically it is not written in the score, but is similar to the ending although not in triplets. This is also a compression of a standard jazz tune. Can you guess which one?
Aha! Got it now - I wasn't familiar with that notion although it vaguely reminds me of anacruză (Rom.)/ anacrusis. About that jazz standard - hmm...could it be Kosma's "Autumn Leaves" / "Les Feuilles mortes"?
@ Yes! You got it! It also happens to be in the same key, but other side of the circle of fifths! It’s pretty much based off the first bar of both the A & B-section.

@ I will give you another hint: It’s known for its odd meter(which is the greatest change since I rearranged it in 4/4)
Erm..um..."Take five" by any chance?
