DDOSFB#66 - Wynton Marsalis

"Flight of the Bumblebee" is an Orchestral Sweet originally written by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera 'The Tale of Tsar Saltan' (circa 1900).
As the name suggests, the piece, with its frantic pace, brings to mind a flying bumblebee.

A jazz adaptation to the manic piece was made by Wynton Marsalis, a renown modern American trumpeter.
