The sax part is iconic, but the piano and bass players are doing the same thing over and over again. The drums, though, that’s where the real complexity is in that piece.
On another note, Bolero is the worst piece for doing the same thing over and over again without fucking going anywhere. Total cocktease of a piece. You do the same thing over and over again, and then you stop playing. I recently learned that Koji Kondo had wanted to use Bolero for the overworld theme in Zelda, but they couldn’t license the copyright. Thank fuck we avoided that.
Take Five.
