From the start, Rosy Maple Moth sets the vibe; establishing a cool, relaxed hip-hop groove, reminiscent of Herbie Hancock’s Butterfly. The piece takes its time to gradually build and grow but as the full band takes hold, it pays off with a fantastic display of the powerful sound a big band can produce. Rosy Maple Moth, named after a beautiful pink and yellow moth, will undoubtedly have your band and audience bopping their heads.
