I have always been interested in playing jazz music that didn't demand improvisational skill. (One must know one's limits.) A quick Google search yielded wonderful music by Pete Rose, a recorder/jazz composer from the East Coast. His compositions explore unusual combinations of recorders and provide authentic opportunities for jazz-starved (or daft) recorder players. . The entire program promises to be a jazzy affair with Andy Tecson on saxophone, Bobby Schiff on piano, Jerry Coleman on drums, Dawn Holt Lauber singing Harold Arlen as well as a Bach composition arranged for voice, drums, Cory Biggerstaff's string bass and, of course, recorders. There is also a World Premiere of a work written especially for this concert, Randall Snyder's Miniature Set for Tenor Recorder and String Bass (2009). --John Langfeld, Recorder Soloist . |
