Commissioned by the Lamont Jazz Orchestra at the University of Denver in 2023, Annie Booth's "Cactus Blossom" was composed shortly after and inspired by a trip to one of her favorite places in her home state of Colorado, the San Luis Valley.

The hallmark of the piece is its lyrical melody, which floats overtop of an energetic rhythmic motif that binds much of the piece. A metric modulation into a layered, moody 12/8 afro-cuban section provides contrast before an improvised solo feature for soprano sax and/or voice.
