This live broadcast from Overlook Mountain will feature nearly two dozen brand new compositions, some inspired by patterns in nature, and most by a younger generation of musician composers. There will be a mix of straight-ahead and avant garde jazz, domestic and international, along with two Ellington covers, one Carla Bley cover and a piece augmented by strings. Additionally, there will be contemporary composed music, post-Minimalist minimalism, squeaky pieces featuring a hurdy gurdy and the Indian shenai, and finally winding down (or up?) with some ecstatic guitar music.
