Kathy's Waltz by Dave Brubeck Quartet is an example of jazz music being in 3/4 and 4/4. The idea of playing a solo in 4/4 and having accompaniment in 3/4 will be a good idea to utilize because the cross rhythms show the clash in the two time signatures but the two parts still gel together despite the clash which as a listener will keep interest in the composition.

The concept of the composition is to explore the two time signatures 3/4 and 4/4 throughout a piece that combines folk music and jazz. The genre of jazz will allow free movement between sections through improvisation. Also using folk music of different traditions a wide variety of time signatures will be available. Using time signatures with three beats in a bar 3/8 and 3/4 can be used. With using 3 and 4 together to make 7/4 and (3*4) 12/8 to create variation in time signature to differentiate from stable and unstable moments in the piece.

The main inspiration for the composition is a piece called 'Waltz' by two Ukrainian musicians Andrej Prozorov and Vadim Neselovskyi. This piece incorporates the fusion of both eastern Eastern folk music with jazz and free improvisation.
