With this album, Oxingale celebrates its tenth release: David Sanford and
the Pittsburgh Collective: Live at the Knitting Factory, featuring cellist
Matt Haimovitz. Composer David Sanford leads the Pittsburgh Collective big
band û five saxophones, five trumpets, five trombones, piano, electric
guitar, bass, drums, and congas û in his debut, full-length album. The CD
comprises world premiere recordings, works composed while Sanford was in
residence at the American Academy in Rome, Italy, as winner of the
prestigious Rome Prize. Cellist Matt Haimovitz joins the Collective in
SanfordÆs new cello concerto, Scherzo Grosso, which is the latest
installment in HaimovitzÆs ôBuck the Concertoö series of commissions for
cello with unusual pairings, as well as a new version of SanfordÆs Seventh
Avenue Kaddish.
With David Sanford as bandleader and creative magnet, an eclectic mix of
jazz, classical, Latin and jam-based musicians from across the U.S. and
Japan come together in the Pittsburgh Collective. Recorded live on May 29,
2005, on the main stage of NYCÆs Knitting Factory, the new album captures
the kinetic energy and musical ingenuity of some of todayÆs jazz and
classical heavyweights, including trumpeters Dave Ballou, Brian McWhorter,
and Hiro Noguchi, pianist Geoffrey Burleson, saxophonists Adam Kolker, Ted
Levine, and Jon Nelson, trombonists Mike Christianson and Benjamin
Herrington, and David Fabris on electric guitar. Add HaimovitzÆs blazing
cello and the result is a jazz-funk-bebop-contemp-classical caffeine
substitute from one of the hottest big bands since Mingus and Mahavishnu.
