PROGRAM
The ever-adventurous PRISM Quartet joins forces with the composer/pianist and MacArthur Fellow Craig Taborn in a program featuring the world premiere of Taborn’s Three Animal Riddles.
Taborn writes, “Three Animal Riddles is a work in three movements—Two Fish, Red Sulfur Birds, and Her Basilisk—in which improvisatory piano, in dialogue with a saxophone quartet, encounters metaphors of decomposition, transformation, and synthesis. Alchemical animal riddles, Duke Ellington, and Cecil Taylor inspired this piece, which will take on a new final form with each performance.”
The program also includes work from PRISM Quartet’s ongoing Heritage/Evolution project by Greg Osby, Melissa Aldana, John Coltrane, and Chris Potter, adapted for PRISM’s saxes and piano.
