Overview

"A Comeback Strike" is a jazz-adjacent tune in C Minor. It was assigned the catalogue number M-101 based on its placement in the series.

Compositional Analysis

The tune begins with a 9-bar presentation of the main melody in saxophone, guitar, and horns, including an introductory bar.

Then there is a 3-bar bridge, followed by a 16-bar section featuring a different presentation of the melody.

This is followed by a 12-bar contrasting section, and then another 20-bar section. The final 10-bar section restates the original melody (8 bars) and concludes the piece (2 bars).
