When musicians take an interest in my work I respond with by showing my interest in fusions of music from modern and previous eras. Hence my Jazz Fusion Suite.
7 top Australian jazz musicians play “Triple Six” (666), 1st Movt of Derek Strahan’s Jazz Fusion Suite: a depiction in music of events leading to the Apocalypse, as in “Revelation” - hence the title.
7 top Australian jazz musicians play “Free Spirit”, 2nd Movt of Derek Strahan’s Jazz Fusion Suite: a depiction in music of a state of mind.
To be free is to be alone. Sometimes necessary!
7 top Australian jazz musicians play “The Beethoven Boogie”, 3rd Movt of Derek Strahan’s Jazz Fusion Suite: a musical joke, writing a “switched-on classic” in strict Sonata Form, hopefully with Ludwig’s approval – or maybe not!
In addition to longer chamber works that include flute I have written several short works for flute & guitar that might interest you.
On September 27, 2017, Flautist Leo Bejarano & guitarist Emmanuel Cabrera Lagunas of Centro de las Artes de Hidalgo, Mexico gave the world premiere of my chamber work “Perpetual Emotion” for flute & (electric) guitar at the theater "Bartolomé de Medina", Pachuca, Hidalgo, México.
