DESCRIPTION:
My First Scooter was written by Django Bates for ASQ and is part of a larger work entitled Travel Cartoons For The Blind. The piece depicts four scenes from childhood. The composer writes beautifully for the instruments, describing toy trucks, a paper boat, a rocking horse and finally a scooter. It is scored for four soprano saxophones, with two of them tuned a quarter-tone flat to make the grating sound of an over enthusiastic youngster constantly honking on the horn of the afore-mentioned scooter.

ASQ are: Rob Buckland, Carl Raven, Andy Scott & Jim Fieldhouse.
