The Eastman School Of Music’s Eastman Chamber Jazz Ensemble To Perform The Music Of Gil Evans March 13, 2011

On Sunday, March 13 at 7:00pm, the Eastman School of Music’s Eastman Chamber Jazz Ensemble will participate in Prez Fest 2011 at St. Peter’s Church celebrating the music of jazz man Gil Evans. With the permission of the Evans family, conductor Ryan Truesdell accessed the late composer’s library and has assembled a program from Evan’s original manuscripts and sketches. The concert will bring to light works from a part of Evans catalog that has remained all but unknown to modern audiences and enthusiasts. The ensemble will be joined by saxophonist Phil Woods, vocalist Andy Bey and pianist Frank Kimbrough
