about

Wii Three was composed during my tenure as the lobby pianist for the BWI Marriott. The title is a double reference - the opening rhythmic passage was based off of the repeating figure that plays in the background of the Wii Sports! bowling game. I’m also giving a humble nod to Roy Haynes’ We Three album, which features the legendary pianist Phineas Newborn, Jr.
This song quickly became popular among the musicians I played it with. One of them remarked that it reminded him of Freddie Hubbard’s Red Clay, which I had not realized before but acknowledged that it did indeed bear similarities. When making this arrangement I added some backgrounds during the piano solo that highlight the connection.
