One month from tonight, veteran bassist/composer Mario Pavone will perform at the Litchfield Jazz Festival with his newest ensemble, Orange Double Tenor.
The group, which features trumpeter Dave Ballou, tenor saxophonists Tony Malaby and Jimmy Greene, pianist Peter Madsen and drummer Gerald Cleaver, will play Pavone's new extended work, ARC SUITE T/PI T/PO.
This is only the third live performance of the five-part suite, following two nights at New York's Cornelia Street Café in early June, which was commissioned by Chamber Music America's 2009 New Jazz Works: Commissioning and Ensemble Development program funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
Pavone and the band have already recorded the music, which will be released by Playscape Recordings in November to coincide with his 70th birthday.
