Ballad For The Millenial was the last composition I wrote during my undergraduate studies and encapsulates the anxieties of leaving highly-structured academia and entering an extremely turbulent work force. It is a grimey slow swing with a feel and instrumentation inspired by the famous Gil Evans and Miles Davis collaboration album, “Birth of the Cool”.
