Composed by Scott Ninmer
H F L — “higher, faster, louder” — examines the competitive, athletic spirit associated with jam sessions and the big bands of Buddy Rich, Don Ellis, and Maynard Ferguson. The piece embraces that aggressive energy while balancing it with the composer’s characteristic emphasis on melody, nuance, and musical shape.
