Composed by Michael Garrick.

Celebrating his recent seventieth birthday [2003], it is perhaps fitting that Britain's Peter Pan of jazz, Michael Garrick, should portray J.M. Barrie's creation with the musical candour that has kept his musical career fresh and eclectic for forty years.

The suite signals a number of 'firsts': Anita Wardell's humorous-dramatic art as well as her jazz singing gifts: big band sounds (first given at Beechwood School, Tunbridge Wells) for children's involvement in art, poetry, drama and their own improvisations: Garrick music written specifically for dance, free or choreographed: debut of the orchestra's choral emissions: and Michael's role as speaker/poet.
