Part II: Thursday, December 2
CUONG VU GROUP
Cuong Vu, Advisor
Manhã De Carnaval ............................................................................................................. Luiz Bonfà (1922-2001)
Luiz Bonfà’s milestone composition and theme to the 1959 film Black Orpheus. The song and the film helped establish the Brazilian music and artistic movements of the 1960s.
Au Private ...................................................................................................................... Charlie Parker (1920-1955)
Charlie Parker fittingly has one of his compositions featured in our set, though it is the Cannonball Adderley version from 1960 which informed our interpretation.
Misty ................................................................................................................................ Erroll Garner (1921-1977)
A fabulous Erroll Garner tune and one of our favorites for a relaxed jam. It opens with a straight-eighths feel fitting the songs at the start and end of the set.
Jordu ............................................................................................................................... Duke Jordan (1922-2006)
Another bebop representative, this Duke Jordan composition has a mysterious stop time feel in the head and some masterful recordings by Clifford Brown and Max Roach.
Solidado .......................................................................................................................... Toshiko Akiyoshi (b. 1929)
We hope to bring more ears to Japan-born Toshiko Akiyoshi’s lesser-played gem from 1953. It is a remarkable Latin composition reminiscent of Poinciana.
Maximilian Czerwinski, alto saxophone; Kai Hill, drums; Marek Magana, electric bass; Shai Permilovsky, piano
