New in the KUCI Jazz Library
KUCI 88.9FM (University of California at Irvine) – 11/23/2017
The Babbitt pieces address the dilemma of the American 20th century experience, an age of anxiety, violence, self medication and delusion, as well as age of promise, revolution, and global communication. Zepeda reflects on the personal significance of that dilemma. Where the two sensibilities coalesce is in Zepeda’s stunning arrangement of Babbitt’s “None But The Lonely Flute”. One of the conductors on the CD, Doug Davis, adds a composition “Stones”, a relentless march in the dark that is a special treat. This is music for folks that love music.
