Mystery Modern Jazz Piece: Can Anybody identify It?

72.208.21.89

Todd Krieger

I tried a music identification website (picture), but it couldn't find the jazz piece....... I included a link so you can hear the music sequence. This used to be on the "smooth jazz" or "new age" stations back in the 1980s. But since that time, I have had no luck identifying this jazz piece. The melody is played by a flute (an octave higher than the audio sample, clicking the "speaker" symbol- The audio sample also leaves out the last four notes), and has acoustic guitars and light percussion in the accompaniment. (The actual melody is well into the tune, kind of a secondary melody. The entered melody might be off by a semitone. But the melody itself is pretty accurate.)
If anybody can identify this, it would be appreciated.

    If you have QuickTime installed, after you click the speaker symbol, it will play like a QuickTime audio clip. The drawback is there appears to be a limit to play time, for the last four notes are not played.
    The time signature of this section is 6/4........ This jazz piece changes time signatures quite frequently. I will post another section shortly.
    Back in the 1980s, Los Angeles station KTWV 94.7 "The Wave" used to play this piece quite frequently. (Right after it changed from KMET, the rock station.) Back at the time, it never disclosed the song titles on the air, but required calling in for the title. I did so several times, but never got the correct title.

      This melodic section follows the sequence I posted earlier. The time signature changes from 6/4 to 3/4.
      These two sequences are then repeated, before moving to yet another sequence, which I unfortunately don't remember.
      If you want to hear the entire sequence, click here , and then click the "Play" button. (This is a different music sequencer than before, "bell tones" instead of a piano. The flute in this case plays the melody an octave lower .)
