Catalina - James LedgerThis work is infused with elements of minimalism, pop and jazz as well as providing two sections for contemporary improvisation. Ledger describes the work as "[a] work with driving rhythms, energy and two improvised sections where the first one was 'late-night-jazz' and the 2nd one much more 60's avant-garde! It certainly was a conscious effort to include the jazz and classical elements, knowing the capabilities of the player."Nocturnal - Tony DavisAn energetic and passionate chamberjazz work for soprano, alto or tenor saxophone and piano. A cinematic exposition of a sleeping mind on the run. This is a technically demanding work. Alto and tenor versions contain harmonics and all versions include optional improvisation for both saxophone and piano. |
