3 through-composed pieces for soloist plus string quartet + piano: pocket concertos where a piano quintet is the “band.” Each work will be named for an early jazz master; the first is The Benny Goodman Sextet with Carol McGonnell on clarinet and Orange Road Quartet.

In the 1990s, I supported myself almost entirely through playing for dance classes. It was a lot of fun and I always learned something every day. At least two of my heroes, Roland Hanna and Andrew Cyrille, played for dance class, not to mention important composers like John Cage.

I just love this photo of the James Newton quartet on tour in Europe: Andrew Cyrille, Anthony Cox, James Newton, Geri Allen (photographer unknown). This was the same 1984 tour where Allen, Cox, and Cyrille recorded THE PRINTMAKERS in Germany.
