Various Artists: New School University Jazz Program 2004/2005
ByEach year, New School releases a CD compilation of its most recent senior recitals as "warnings of who to watch out for in the clubs, in the record stores, and on the radio. Some of the above professors accompany their students herein and to learn from, let alone play with, such masters is invaluable. Recent students already garnering widespread attention included here include trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson, a common name these days in our event calendar. His musical relationship with tenor saxophonist Andrew Gross in a quintet draws from a source of obvious inspiration when performing Ornette's "Happy House in a free bop manner. Pianist Manuel Valera, another musician to look out for, has been nominated as "Up and Coming Musician of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association for its 2005 awards. He performs in duo with Paquito D'Rivera ("Baiao for Paquito ) in a manner that is reverential and at the same time on equal footing with the master clarinetist.
Be the first to say you heard the next generation on an obscure New School CD compilation, a fine rookie card for the many fine young players that started there.
