Title:

Wake-up Jazz

Descriptor:

A style of music popularized by Art Zandifer, identifiable by its lengthy compositions which invariable start very quiet and end up extremely loud. In the genre's most popular song, Shall We Trance?, the musicians are not heard at all for the first 1:30 of the composition. They poise expectantly on front of their trumpets until the proper moment when they begin to press keys on their horns. This develops into a gentle susurrating of wind being blown through the trumpets, to faint notes, to quiet playing, moderate, then loud, quite loud, very loud, and finally culminating in a sound that is much too loud.
