RETRO: John Fitz Rogers, 'Transit' feat. Michael Nicollela (Gale Recordings)
Upon a cursory listening only, composer and decorated University of South Carolina professor John Fitz Rogers' Gale Recordings release Transit seems to owe more to Emerson, Lake and Palmer than Varèse, Ligeti or Nancarrow. Nonetheless, after acquiring the composer's score, through-composed to near fault, it's quite obvious that Transit, as a completely notated work of art, does indeed exist in a state of impassioned, yet precise flux. Chris Botti and the New York Philharmonic Premiere Jazz at David Geffen Hall April 11
A treat for New York Philharmonic fans abound, Grammy-award winning trumpeter Chris Botti will stop by David Geffen Hall for a one-night only performance with the N.Y. Phil. With Andy Einhorn on the podium, the evening should be an eclectic mix of jazz, pop and all things classical.
