This live recording of "Scatter Good Seed in The Fields" comes from Justin Chart's 2024 album Born of The Horn. An original Chart composition, the piece is set in E minor with a swing feel at an up-tempo pace that begins around 210 BPM and accelerates to approximately 235 BPM by the final solo. The track features three solos. Trumpeter Mike Rocha opens with a swinging statement that sets a high energy level from the outset. Bassist Bill Markus follows with an acoustic bass solo at the now-faster tempo of 220 BPM, demonstrating impressive facility and melodic invention at the brisk pace. Drummer Danny Beallo closes the performance with a drum solo at the peak tempo of 235 BPM, capping the ascending energy arc with rhythmic fireworks. The up-tempo swing feel places this track firmly in the jazz tradition, demanding virtuosic technique from all three soloists. The E minor tonality provides a raw, open harmonic canvas, and the accelerating tempo across the solos creates a thrilling sense of momentum. The track's title suggests a generous, outward-looking spirit, and the performance delivers on that promise with expansive, exuberant playing from the entire ensemble.
