Going Baroque!
George Kahn Quartet - Going Baroque
"Third Stream Music" is a term coined by Gunther Schuller,
in a lecture at Brandeis University in 1957, for a type of music which,
through improvisation or written composition or both, synthesizes the
essential characteristics and techniques of contemporary Western art
music and other musical traditions.
From
1967-1977, Schuller served as President of the New England Conservatory
where he formalized NEC’s commitment to jazz by establishing the first
degree-granting jazz program at a major classical conservatory in 1969.
By then there were many jazz artists experimenting with this idea,
including Claude Bolling, Ran Blake, George Russell, Roger Kellaway and John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet.
The third single from the upcoming George Kahn Quartet album is a tribute to the Modern Jazz Quartet. It is appropriately titled "GOING BAROQUE",
but it was named way before 24 million Americans filed for
unemployment. It is a 16 bar down-home lazy blues with a 16-bar fugue to
kick things off. Enjoy!

Oh Happy Day!
I
was thinking yesterday that there will come a time in the not too
distant future that we will say, "Remember that month when there was no
traffic, and the air was clear, and we were able to walk the dog and
spend time and reconnect with our kids?"
Call
me an cockeyed optimist, but I woke up this morning, singing this song.
Here is an AMAZING virtual choir, featuring my friends Macain Treat,
Crystal Starr and Courtney Lemmon (Courtney and Crystal are two of the
singers in The Jazz & Blues Revue! http://jazzandbluesrevue.com)
By
the way, today is the final day of my Kickstarter for the new album,
DreamCatcher. If you have not pre-ordered your copy yet, today is the
last day! Check it out here:
