Ward, Greg / 10 Tongues - Touch My Beloved's Thought
SKU
25-GRE-CD-1050
This is an incredible, very composer-ly and orchestrated large ensemble jazz work. Highly recommended.
"Alto saxophonist and composer Greg Ward (Prefuse 73, Lupe Fiasco, Tortoise, William Parker, Andrew D'Angelo), combines forces with performing artist and choreographer Onye Ozuzu (Columbia College Chicago Dance Chair) to create Touch My Beloved's Thought.
This cross disciplinary work of music and movement is a direct nod to Charles Mingus' Black Saint and the Sinner Lady seen through a modern lens. This exciting live recording features a gutsy group of 10 musicians and improvisors from Chicago and is taken from the performance premiere at Millennium Park on August 13th, 2015 for Jazz Institute of Chicago's Made in Chicago."
