Every Way But Forward (Percussion Ensemble 7) - Patrick Fitzgibbon

"Every Way But Forward" was originally written as a Latin/jazz tune and was performed regularly with my group consisting of guitar, electric bass, drum set, percussion and myself on pan. We would typically open concerts with it as it became one of our signature tunes. At one point the percussion students at Oakland University, where I teach, approached me about doing a percussion ensemble arrangement. I obliged and the students did an incredible job performing this challenging arrangement. This piece is heavily inspired by the modern Cuban genre Songo as well as Calypso and of course Jazz. – P.F.
