Jazz and Art, the latest studio album from the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, lets listeners experience that transcendent combination firsthand through seven imaginative works from celebrated composers. Taking inspiration from artists like Romare Bearden, Piet Mondrian, and Stuart Davis, the Orchestra constructs elaborate, evocative soundscapes that joyously explore the act of creation. FULL PRESS RELEASE: Announcing the Release of JAZZ AND ART by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis performing original compositions inspired by modern master artists Available digitally on August 2, 2019 from Blue Engine Records In past concerts that have been described by the New York Times as being “soulful,” “evocative,” and “playing directly to the band’s strengths,” the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis performed original compositions inspired by masters of modern art including Romare Bearden, Stuart Davis, Sam Gilliam, Winslow Homer, Wifredo Lam, Norman Lewis and Piet Mondrian. On August 2, 2019, Blue Engine Records will release the studio recordings of these charts on a new album entitled Jazz and Art. Jazz and Art will be released on all digital platforms on August 2nd, 2019. GRAMMY Award-winner and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra member Ted Nash says, “Music and paintings share so many characteristics; textures, colors, layers, line, form, shape. No wonder they are such agreeable collaborators. When these two art forms come together, they create a new medium. In February 2010, the audience in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater got to experience that transcendent combination when seven imaginative composers presented new works accompanied by projections of the paintings that inspired their creations.” Jazz and Art displays impressive musicianship and a range of musical styles, from modern jazz to gospel, American pastoral music, Afro-Cuban, spirituals, New Orleans, Indian chants, avant garde, and beyond. The compositions were inspired by works of art from beloved museums such as The Guggenheim, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art. TRACK LISTING 1.

sgcim Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Gee, I wonder who the corporate heads of JALC were trying to appeal to when they came up with the idea for that concert/album? And they they use the compositions and arrangements of some vocalist/banjo player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I've actually been trying to put together a Night Lights show along these lines for a long time--both about jazz inspired by or that alludes to visual art, as well as jazz musicians who were also painters (Frank Newton, Lloyd McNeill, etc.).
