Insomnia
Half of this tune is old, half of it is new.
The form is AABA…classic.
The A sections(first 14 and last 7) are old. The B Section(the part in 5/4) is new.

Improvising on this tune is a challenge, or it’s not. It depends on your particular bent.
My intention with this tune was to have the solos be free form, with the groove intact.
It is helpful for everyone in the group to be listening intently and periodically playing little pieces of the melody as markers so that everyone stays in touch.
You’ll hear us do that on the recording above.
enjoy!
