Notas del compositor
Walk the Walk for baritone sax and percussion was commissioned by Opus 21 for a concert honoring pianist Joe Hunter and the Funk Brothers, a group of Detroit studio musicians who played on all of the historic Motown releases from 1959 to 1972. Using a deconstructed fragment from the Temptations' My Girl as a compositional idée fixe, Daugherty takes the listener through a world of virtuosic Detroit blues, rock, jazz and Latin Motown musical grooves.
