SUEZENNE FORDHAM CHAMBER JAZZ LA CONCERT Sunday Evening Nov.9th
"NEW ORBIT" SERIES
Original tunes by Bobby Bradford and MX Mitacek to be presented.
MX MITACEK
PASSACAGLIA "Nine for SF"
A mere nine measures is the content of the composition written for the Suezenne Fordham Chamber Jazz LA group. The basic melodic and harmonic structure is written, and the group extends and improvises extensively, creating variation after variation. It sometime rivals extended compositions in the Classical world, in intensity and inovation, truly an improvisors dream.
MXM uses the Equal Interval system of composition as created by Lyle "Spud" Murphy, and taught by MXM at Pasadena City College.
BOBBY BRADFORD< COMPOSER, CORNETist
"In The Arms Of Abraham" a Spiritual
A very soulful and melodic Spiritual in the most traditional sense, with traditional chamnes of harmony, but yet showing the melodic genius that flows from Bradford's pen.
"A Little Pain"
Written during an intense period of soul searching by Bradford, this is a standby for The Bobby Bradford Mo'Tet, and me performance would be complete of Bradford's without this tune. Once again presented to SFCJLA with just twelve measures written, it is a field day for us, recreating all the pain of existance for you to hear and identify with. Intimate,Soulful, Pain ridden with the b5s and we have a ball delving into the psyche of composer Bradford.
The remainder of the program will be devoted to Monk, Evans, Mingus and Asian Improvisations on Tibetan Instruments.
