Joe Lovano continues to be one of the premiere saxophone voices of today’s generation. His is a master, with a totally unique improvisational voice and approach, whether he is playing with his own groups or as an honored guest with others. His earlier career involved significant periods with the big bands led by Woody Herman and Mel Lewis, which will both serve as inspirations for this concert’s set list. Lovano also has a deep connection to William Paterson, as a former faculty member and longtime guest artist. This concert will feature arrangements chosen by Lovano for this occasion, as well as premiere performances of three big band arrangements created by WP graduate arrangers, on Lovano’s compositions. This performance is sure to give a high-energy start to the spring concert series!
