excerpt from Tin Can by Andy Scott, for tenor saxophone, piano, bass guitar and drums. Performed by Andy Scott, Gwilym Simcock, Laurence Cottle & Elliott Henshaw from the CD Ruby and All Things Purple (Basho Records)
Tin Can’ is a high energy and rhythmically unrelenting work, duration 5 minutes, although this may be a longer if the performers choose to improvise in one section as indicated on the score.
In May 2013 Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield returned to earth from his role as capsule communicator on board the International Space Station. To mark this return the Canadian Space Agency released a video of Hadfield paying tribute to David Bowie with a rendition of ‘Space Oddity’. One line of Bowie’s lyrics reads “Here I am floating in a tin can, far above the world”, and with the great leaps/intervals that characterise this short work, the title ‘Tin Can’ seemed appropriate, more so with the brass of a saxophone!
Tin Can was commissioned by saxophonist Kyran Matthews, who gave the world premiere performance with Dave Onac, of the original saxophone and piano version, at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, UK, Gold Medal Winners Concert, on Sunday 16th June 2013.
The composer arranged Tin Can for tenor saxophone, piano, bass guitar & drums, giving the world premiere at Manchester Jazz Festival in August 2017; Andy Scott (sax), Gwilym Simcock (piano), Laurence Cottle (bass) & Elliott Henshaw (drums).
