On July 24, 2011 I am excited to have a new arrangement of mine premiered at the Carmel Bach Festival. The CBF and the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival commissioned me to do an arrangement of a Bach melody for big band and tenor sax soloist. I decided to use the ground bass and one of the melodic variations from Bach’s Passacaglia in C Minor (BWV 582).

The big band performing the piece will be the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Orchestra and the tenor sax soloist will be none other than the legendary Joe Lovano. It should be a *great* performance and I am really excited to hear it performed!
