This piece started life as a solo piano piece, written about 10 years ago. Recently, I thought it might be an idea to develop it as a jazz trio for piano, bass and drums, but the slow middle section sounded too empty, so saxophones were added for a nice contrast of mood. The music was written to encapsulate the idea of a city furious with activity during the day and a cool glamour at night...

As a youngster, I loved the cop shows of the seventies and the theme music, such as Streets Of San Francisco (now that's what you call a cracking theme!), Kojak etc. I tried to capture the essence of that era with this piece, using Rhodes piano, funky bass and essential bongo action. Incidentally, Arthur is not a fictional detective, but the the name of my parents' West Highland Terrier. I had to look after him for a week and between walkies, poops and feeding time I exposed him to my music making processes. I don't think he liked it as he let out a nasty, invisible cloud of dinner time! Bless. Hope you enjoy :) 

Arthur

This is just a humble musical concoction riffing on the original Planet of the Apes filmscore by Jerry Goldsmith with additional ape rioting, mud slinging and objections thrown in from YT and the film.
