Art of Jazz Series Subscription
It is time to get your subscription for a fabulous 2022-2023 Art of Jazz Series season ahead beginning on November 11, 2022. This season, we will focus on the art of composition. First up is the pianist, composer, arranger, and jazz star, Amina Figarova.
“…Many of the strongest composer-arranger-orchestra leaders in jazz are women. Think Toshiko Akiyoshi, Carla Bley, Maria Schneider. Amina Figarova has a chance to join their company. All she needs is an orchestra. Figarova’s compositions for small ensembles have been brilliant since at least 2005 when she released September Suite, still the deepest, most powerful jazz response to the events of 9/11…” by Thomas Conrad for Stereophile Magazine
