Guest Composer-Conductor @ Midwest Clinic (Chicago)

  • State College, PA (map)

The University of Kentucky Jazz Ensemble will present the premiere performance of Cityscapes. This is an adaptation of my saxophone quartet composition of the same title, composed nearly 20 years ago for the same client!

At the same concert the University of Kentucky SaxCats (10-piece saxophone ensemble) will also premiere my brand-new arrangement of You’re a Mean One, Señor Grinch, also written expressly for this performance.

By the way, world-class saxophonist and woodwindist Jeff Coffin will be the featured guest soloist.

If you’re at Midwest, the performance will be Wednesday evening. Beer to follow. I hope to see you there!
