Bullard, Alan - Three Picasso Portraits saxophone Quartet  

Three Picasso Portaits by Alan Bullard for Saxophone Quartet. The pieces are loosely inspired, both in terms of mood and technique, by three picasso paintings from the inter war years. The clear-cut jazz rhythms of Harlequin give way to the intense inner tragedy of Weeping Woman, which is followed by the Three Dancers, superficially light-hearted but with a hidden desperation beneath.
