This is the Manhattan School of Music Jazz Composers’ Orchestra premiering of my original piece for large jazz ensemble, "Fragment." The piece is based on a poem of the same name by the Greek poet Sappho, to which I added additional lyrics of my own. In terms of material, the piece is conceptually based upon melodic fragmentation, as well as the meaning of the future, and what it means to be remembered. The piece is scored for standard jazz big band instrumentation, is conducted by Jim Saltzman and features vocals by Martina Barta and solos from Cam Shave on Flugelhorn, Cole Peterson on Alto Sax, and myself on Guitar.
