  • The Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra: Elegies and Recollections – In Memory of Dorothy Carter

    In 2003 I received the news that my dear friend and early musical mentor Dorothy Carter had died. Almost immediately afterwards I was inspired to compose this long piece for jazz orchestra, which was eventually released on the JCAO’s “Celebration of the Spirit” CD on CIMP records.

    Here is a 2005 concert version.

    Dorothy’s music was ethereal and delicate, evoking mythical and ancient resonances. She taught me a lot about the integration of folk music into contemporary composition.
