My Program

Buku 

Buku is based  on very short musical sound bytes: a hit, a roll or a lick, from original jazz performances: moments of great intensity, energy and beauty.  BUKU is about the soul of the alto sax and a tribute to three alto giants: Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley and Art Pepper. Meet them in Buku!

Marc Mellits

Black

Mellits has often been categorized as a miniaturist, and indeed, he often composes works that feature short, highly contrasting movements, but, his music is always eclectic and colorful, but also all encompassing, with a strong sense of forward motion.

 the two saxophonists engage in a high energy, but still very intimate dialogue, that demands that the listener sit up and pay close attention, since there is no other option nor, indeed, is one needed, as the short, but intense piece quickly reaches its irresistible conclusion.

Karen Tanaka

Night Bird

'Night Bird' is a love song filled with tender whispers of lovers. I have tried to weave colours and scent into the sound of alto saxophone and tape.
This piece was commissioned by and is dedicated to Claude Delangle.
