WITCHI-TAI-TO:
THE MUSIC OF JIM PEPPER
Please find
below details of my new release which will come out in Europe in
March. It is a very prestigious, significant album - a double CD
with about 120 minutes of music. Also it is a 6-page digipack with
very nice cover art inside and outside and a 24-page booklet as
well.
The music is a cross over thing between jazz, Native American Music
and classical arrangements by Gunther Schuller - a special event
which has never happened before and most of all, it is a rendition
of the music of that incredible, incorrigible, lovable, unforgettable
anarchist, passionate saxophonist and composer, poet of his people,
that Kaw-Creek-American, Jim Pepper, The Flying Eagle, Hunga-Chee-A-Dah.
The recording was made in Cologne with the Westdeutscher Rundfunk
Orchestra and the Remembrance Band, comprised mainly of musicians
Pepper had worked together with personally through many years, under
the baton of Gunther Schuller. Native American dancers and singer-percussionists
performed also at this event, lending deeper authenticity to this
document. This music rises above all expectations, reaching beyond
Gunther Schuller's famous project of the fifties: Third Stream Music.
These arrangements construct an astonishing arc, encompassing cohesively
Native American chants and rhythms and the
structures and tonalities of jazz and modern European classical
music. Jim Pepper himself is heard on two titles a 'Pepper Poem'
and 'Legacy of the Flying Eagle' on soprano & vocals !
