Description of Lecture
The lecture will serve as the grand finale of this season’s Moveable Feast and will include a jazz quartet performance to show how jazz musicians expand on music of the past during the creation of new work. They will demonstrate jazz’s process of creating rhythmic, harmonic, melodic and stylistic variations for existing pieces in order to reimagine musical staples. Reese specializes in the saxophone and directs the Jazz Ensemble. Primatic specializes in percussion instruments and directs the Percussion Ensemble. Both professors hold a D.M.A.
