ftwdrummer Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The Texas Zephyrs are proud to announce their summer 2015 production: Kind Of Blue Musical selections include Another Excuse to Play the Blues, Ken Harris Blue Shades, Frank Ticheli Blue Rondo a la Turk, Dave Brubeck Rhapsody in Blue, George Gershwin All Blues, Miles Davis "In the past, the Zephyrs have often focused on using various pieces of American music," says corps director Steven Silverberg. "However, while we've incorporated pieces of jazz before, we've never done a show primarily built around variations of that most American form of music. To correct that, we decided to attack the issue head-on, centering the show around jazz-influenced "blue" pieces." Silverberg also notes that these likely won't be the only pieces incorporated. "While the five listed pieces will form the bulk of the show, All Blues will definitely not be the only thing from Miles Davis's seminal album that we use," he says. "Quotes, indirect references to the other pieces of the album, will likely appear threaded throughout the show." More information on the show, tour schedule, etc., to come soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
