To celebrate its thirtieth anniversary Derby Jazz has commissioned me to write music for a nonet: Corey Mwamba | Dave Kane | Joshua Blackmore with
- Graham Clark - violin
- Tony Kofi - baritone saxophone
- Jan Kopinksi - tenor saxophone
- Deborah Jordan - voice
- Julian Siegel - bass clarinet
- Alex Suckling - trumpet
Orrery will be played twice: first, as a promenade piece that uses the whole space in which the audience stands; and second as a more conventional set-up with chairs - but which promises to be no less exciting! I'll be gathering ideas, and posting about this in the moments when I'm not deciphering my own charts!
