Non è la prima volta che Arvo Pärt viene ispirato a comporre su testi di Saint Silouan, nel 1991 ha infatti pubblicato i "Silouans Songs" per orchestra, registrati da ECM con il Te Deum, il Magnificat e la Berliner Mass. Il compositore ha interiorizzato profondamente le parole,che, nella lingua slava ecclesiastica, determinano la sostanza e la struttura del brano. Il nome di Adamo è pensato come un termine collettivo, che comprende l'intero genere umano, ma anche ciascuna persona individualmente, la previsione di una tragedia umana come una colpa personale. La prima esecuzione di questo lavoro ebbe luogo nel giugno 2010 a Istanbul proprio sotto la direzione di Tõnu Kaljuste e con l'Estonian Chamber Choir, cioè gli interpreti ideali di cui si avvale questo CD, che comprende anche altri importanti lavori della produzione sacra di Pärt.

This thesis offers a transcription and analysis of his improvisation on the Thelonious Monk composition “Let’s Cool One” which demonstrates five improvisational devices that define Rogers’s approach over this composition: micro-harmonization, rhythmic displacement, motivic development, thematic improvisation, and phrase rhythm. This thesis presents a window into the aesthetics of contemporary jazz improvisation and offers a prism for conceptualizing not only the work of Adam Rogers, but

All Ya Needs That Negrocity is Burnt Sugar's twelfth album since their debut in 1999. Tate shared his thoughts on jazz, afro-futurism, and James Brown. GOODISON: Tell me about your life before you came to New York. TATE: I was born in Dayton, Ohio, and we moved to DC when I was about twelve, so that would have been about 1971, 1972, and that was about the same time I really got interested in music, collecting music, really interested in collecting jazz and rock, and reading music criticism too. It kinda all happened at the same time. I had a subscription to Rolling Stone. I was really into Miles Davis. He was like my god in the 1970s. Miles, George Clinton, Sun Ra, and locally we had a serious kind of band scene going on.
