Back in 2019 I had an article published in the Association of Irish Composers (AIC) New Music Journal. It was a discussion about how composition can function within a jazz ensemble, and I focused on the composition Rum by Irish pianist Greg Felton. Inspired by the rhythmic experiments of pianist Vijay Iyer and the writings of ethnomusicologist Ingrid Monson, I outlined our own rhythmic experiments where a clave sounds very similar when played in 5/4 or 7/4. The article can be found here and a performance of Rum is below.
