While in Paris with Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra, trumpeter Clifford Brown teamed up with altoist Gigi Gryce and a top-notch rhythm section (pianist Henri Renaud, guitarist Jimmy Gourley, bassist Pierre Michelot, and drummer Jean-Louis Viale) for two fine sessions on this enjoyable LP. Although Gryce was not a major soloist, he held his own with the trumpeter and was a talented composer.

- 8 May 2021 7:30 PM

The soloists of the double clarinet concerto of Péter Eötvös draw acrobatic, levitating curves with parallels and connecting phrases to create an energized and witty musical theatre.

László Tihanyi, the evening’s conductor, who is continuing his series of musical and theatrical compositions at the request of the UMZE Ensemble, ...

- classical
It has been said many times that great music does not necessarily require the highest quality text, and some go so far as to say that some music can even be hindered from developing fully when the melody is paired with words that claim a position of equal rank.
