PROGRAM NOTES: NOLA
I conceived this piece while visiting New Orleans, where the mixture of diverse musical genre one hears walking the streets I found so inspiring. From traditional jazz to bounce, cajun to brass bands, its a paradise for the senses. With those thoughts as a starting point, I wanted to compose a piece for trombone that was strongly rooted in jazz, but at the same time a classical concert piece..
NOLA was commissioned by Karen Davalos and David Stanton and premiered by Glennon Davalos Stanton at the 2016 Senior Gala at Barnum Hall, Santa Monica, CA.
