Gossip column about a gambler |
| Description: |
Muted trumpet and clarinet play a sultry, bluesy lick as we read a newspaper clipping that reads: "Cute! What top-hole Broadway gambler won a five-grand stud pot the other dawning by spilling his drink on the mahogany table to mirror the cards as he dealt them?" |
| Analysis: |
Initially harmonized with parallel major thirds descending by half steps; at the end, as two men talk on the street, the collection suddenly shifts from diatonic to whole-tone |
