THE PRESIDENTIAL SUITE by Ted Nash
JLCO Fresh Sounds: Ted Nash & Victor Goines
January 18, 2014
Rose Theater
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra
Orated by Charles S. Dutton

Following his acclaimed 2007 JLCO release 'Portrait in Seven Shades,' Ted Nash leads the band through his latest piece The Presidential Suite, comprising six movements reflecting, he relates, on "important and inspiring speeches by world leaders" that "use the intonation of the voice to form the thematic material, and the spirit and message to shape the intensity of the arrangements."
