Jane Ira Bloom
| "I've composed a suite
in six parts mirroring six action paintings by artist Jackson Pollock
where the performers create an effect as if they were "painting
the sound." The piece is scored for my quartet with myself on
soprano saxophone and live electronics, Fred Hersch on piano, Mark
Dresser on bass, and Bobby Previte on drums. Try to imagine a jazz
quartet that physically moves sound around the band like paint and
you have an idea of what I'm after."
