Additional info/contents	"Blue Shades" is a piece of music that explores the fantasy of a diminished third and is heavily influenced by traditional jazz. It combines elements of blues and jazz, parodying big band clichés while paying tribute to that era. The structure is through-composed and free, divided into six sections that develop themes and motifs to unify the piece.
