ザ・キーウエスト・クインテット バイ ザビエル・フォーリー

I've loved rehearsing this withy Quintett. It's fun, energetic, and beautifully unique.

The Quintet by Xavier Foley is a beautiful piece — a real joy to play for any musician but specially for the double bass player. Foley draws on the spirit of American folk music, but he goes further: he dares to explore musical spaces born not only from our collective heritage but also from his own intimate, individual imagination. Bartók did something similar with European traditions — delving into the folklore of his land to discover new musical languages.

It would be exciting to explore this direction further.

For any composer, perhaps the most important thing is to find their audience — people who understand and love what they create. A shared language between composer and listener is a conditio sine qua non. But even more thrilling is when a composer dares to challenge the audience — to invite them into a new world of perception.
Because every piece of music is its own world.

Good Luck!!

Key West Quintet by Xavier Foley

The piece is filled with joy throughout, with some calming and nostalgic parts in the middle. The main phrase is catchy with the feel of classical meets folk contemporary music. Sometimes I feel like Im in a fantasy rpg. I have listened to it at least 6 times. I hope I can play the bass part someday!

I liked the pizz part of the double bass , this song has a special vibe I've never seen in any other song
