Mahoning

Описание: This was written while I was a member of The Capital Jazz Project 1.0. Joe Gilman had just done an album with The Brubeck Institute Fellows. I mixed it. The Capital Jazz Project was having a CD release concert for the album. Great record by the way! The concept was to write a piece based on a work of modern American art. I chose expressionist Franz Kline and his work Mahoning. This is a town in Ohio where I believe he lived at the time. This was easy for me as I had since I was a kid go to art museums and listen to how I imagined the paintings would sound. In barely keeping with an American theme for this concert Mahoning comes from the Mahoning River, a Native American term meaning at the (salt) lick, whatever that means. Joe Gilman gives an absolutely stunning performance on piano, as he does!
