Victoria Bond
About this work:
Premiere: January 23, 1985; Chapel Concert Series New York
Judith Otten, sop; James Hamlin, trumpet
Commentary: An improvisation in which the singer voices nonesense syllables as text, and the musical material is exchanged and varied as in a jam session.
Review: "Patterned after Bond's idea of Ella Fitzgerald, the performers let their hair down and sent us back into the cold night with a smile and the feeling that the trip had been well worthwhile."
