SUMMARY:Contemporary Jazz Ensemble & UW Jazz Orchestra with the David Ambrosio Quintet - Guest Artist Series
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets\n$20 general admission\nStudents free (ticket required) \nAnita Sorenson Jazz Guest Residency \nDavid Ambrosio Quintent\nDavid Ambrosio\, bass\nDonny McCaslin\, tenor/soprano saxophones\nJason Palmer\, trumpet\nBruce Barth\, piano\nRudy Royston\, drums \nWith Contemporary Jazz Ensemble & UW Jazz Orchestra \n…… \nFor the past 30 years\, David Ambrosio has been one of New York City’s finest freelance musicians and educators. His current working projects as a leader are CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Blue Note Records in the Progressive ‘60s\, featuring Grammy nominated saxophonist Donny McCaslin and drumming legend Victor Lewis; and the David Ambrosio Trio\, featuring saxophonist Loren Stillman. \nIn addition to his own ensembles\, he is the co-leader of the David Ambrosio/Russ Meissner Sextet\, 40Twenty\, and Grupo Los Santos\, as well as being a part of many other groups including George Schuller’s Circle Wide\, the Matt Renzi Trio\, Eri Yamamoto Trio\, and Jazz at Lincoln Center’s BMI/New York Jazz Orchestra led by Ted Nash and Andy Farber. He has performed with such jazz greats as Kenny Werner\, Joe Lovano\, Terry Gibbs\, Buddy DeFranco\, George Garzone\, Joseph Jarmon\, and Ralph Alessi. \nDavid’s third recording as leader\, Four on the Road (Fresh Sound Records\, 2018)\, was praised as “Swinging brilliance in the light of interactive engagement\, creating music that challenges while remaining largely accessible” by Dan Bilawsky of All About Jazz. \nWith degrees in classical composition and jazz performance\, David has a broad musical palate that has become even more intensified by his extensive travel experiences. In 2001 he had the opportunity to perform in Cuba with Grupo Los Santos\, Max Pollack’s Rumbatap\, as well as numerous local Afro/Cuban folkloric music and dance ensembles. Not long after\, he began what has become a 14-year period of intense study of Afro/Cuban Bata drumming with master drummers Miguel Bernal\, Carlos Gomez\, and Carlos Aldama. \nDavid has also frequently toured in Central and South East Asia on behalf of the US State Department as a performer and clinician. Currently he is on the faculty at Hunter College and the New York Jazz Workshop in NYC.
