David Taylor, Bass Trombonist & Friends: to the Distant Beloved February 27, 2008

Lyric Chamber Music Society of New York presents bass trombone virtuoso David Taylor and Friends in a special autobiographical concert entitled 'To the Distant Beloved.' The program will showcase the unique sounds of the relatively unknown bass trombone, which Taylor calls a "darkly sparkling instrument." Taylor has put together a suite of Schubert songs and French music by Ravel, Milhaud, and others. He has also developed a suite combining the music of the Vienna Secession, such as Berg and Schoenberg, with the jazz of Mingus and Carla Brey. He is joined by Adam Holzman and Michael Holober on piano and keyboards, and Belle Ehresmann on beat box.
