The Creative Music Series & The Jazz Composers Alliance Present:
Darrell Katz and OddSong
OddSong is a unique ensemble put together by composer and director of the Jazz Composers Alliance (JCA) Darrell Katz. This group began as the JCA Sax Quartet, (which has always had, including vocalist Rebecca Shrimpton, five members), and was expanded to include violin and marimba. They will be performing bold and adventurous new music an engaging ensemble that will have you imagining how to categorize the band.
This adventurous multi-stylistic music with a wide range of influences and directions: blues, contemporary chamber music, Jazz, tango, collective improvisation, world music, and more are all part of it. The Jazz Composers Alliance has been presenting exciting new music since 1985....
