Description "Ballade for Old Masters Sake"

This piece was written at a time when the composer had the impression that the world's great jazz musicians were dying off.

By and large, it adheres to the traditional A-B-A form, but the A and B sections are complex in themselves:
A bluesy theme in C major follows a two-bar introduction, then a short through-composed bridge to a section in B minor.
After both parts have been repeated, there is a short improvisation section over the C major section, followed by the bridge (this time composed differently), which leads into the actual improvisation section (the B section), which can be freely arranged.
Then comes the A section again (bluesy C major section - bridge - B minor section) with a transition into a concluding coda.
