- (Visit: www.uctv.tv/) Asher Tobin Chodos’ adventurous arrangement of Ornette Coleman’s Lonely Woman places a quartet of jazz soloists within a symphonic context. Just as innovator Coleman sought to reframe jazz conventions in an idiosyncratic style, so Chodos’ arrangement seeks to reposition this 1959 work in a modern idiom, one that embraces and even expands upon the challenges of a composition that, in Chodos’ words, “occupies a middle ground between specificity and discrepancy.” Most importantly, this new take on a classic preserves the beauty and immediacy of Coleman’s original.

Peter Evans (trumpet)?

This is woeful - the trumpet vocalist combination, OMG - stylistic clutter with the bathetic destruction of negative space.
I don't know. I don't know..
I was very scptical at the beginning, but was convinced by the end of the piece. Well done. Who are the soloists? Is the arranger directing the orchestra? A jazz pizzicato bassist is a missing element in this orchestration. How many of the string players have checked out Ornette's music? (I hope more than a couple…) Pleased to see at a dozen of them applauding the soloists after the end of the piece…
And the singer must be Helga Davis. More info about it: www.lajollalight.com/art/music/sd-cm-ljl-la-jolla-symphony-advance-20180606-story.html
