In jazz, orchestra blended Unevenly

What is the best way to open the new season of the orchestra with a new piece? This was the logic Alan Gilbert last September, when he opened his tenure as music director of the Orchestra with the New York premiere of "Expo", which is exciting work by Magnus Lindberg, composer orchestra in residence.

                                                          
Wednesday night in Avery Fisher Hall, Mr. Gilbert began his second season in leading the orchestra. Began again in the program, broadcast on PBS's "Live from Lincoln Center", with the show, this time from new points sprawling Wynton Marsalis, "Symphony Swing" (Symphony No. 3), and wrote for and performed for jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Philharmonic Wu. This was in fact the U.S. supply. Jointly commissioned a piece from the New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Barbican in London. The first performance took place in Berlin recently. However, the U.S. offer the new charges. And sharing is a good thing, especially in times of recession.

                                                                      
Mr. Marsalis has been described "Swing Symphony" Symphony as a meditation on the evolution of the alternative. It was understood the great potential and possible pitfalls, and a piece of Mr. Marsalis both achieved some potential and succumbed to some of the pitfalls. Five movements of this work is 45 minutes, raise, and pay patterns will bring together jazz and pop: ragtime, mambo, bebop music, black American church. Bringing the talented 15 of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, including Mr. Marsalis, along with players from the orchestra was, in theory, the idea of inspiring.
