Three Generations: Changing the Direction of Concert Music
I have curated this series of four concerts to demonstrate how concert music has changed from the mid-20th century to the present by pivoting from serial / random chance / atonal music—in which discernible harmony, rhythm, or melody was difficult or impossible to hear—to a powerful restoration of all these musical basics in totally new ways.
The first generation to initiate those changes are now in their 70s or 80s and include Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt, and John Adams. The music of these composers then interested a younger generation now approaching their 60s, including Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, who formed the Bang on a Can collective. In turn, a still younger generation, now approaching their 40s, took up both of these earlier generations and carried all these ideas even further. This very large generation is represented here by Bryce Dessner and Nico Muhly.
In addition to the performance of their music by several outstanding ensembles—including Ensemble Signal, Bang on a Can All-Stars, and the JACK Quartet—many of these composers will discuss their music after the concerts.

Pioneering guitarist Larry Coryell, died of natural causes in New York City on February 19, 2017, at the age of 73. Known as the godfather of jazz fusion, Coryell worked with many notables throughout his career such as John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Miroslav Vitouš, Chick Corea, Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker, Ron Carter, Hubert Laws, Alphonse Mouzon, Gary Burton, Randy Brecker, The 5th Dimension, Chico Hamilton, Herbie Mann, Charles Mingus, Bob Moses, Kenny Barron, and Chico O’Farill among many others. Coryell made his home in New York where he came in 1965 to study guitar. He was a highly respected guitar player whose career connected the worlds of jazz, rock and classical. Coryell worked on numerous projects and recordings as a sideman and leader and was still an active performer, appearing at the Iridium in midtown Manhattan the only the night before he passed away.
A memorial service is scheduled to be held at New York City’s SGI-USA Buddhist temple on Friday February 24th.

David Mancuso’s life and work exemplify, our core values of diversity, community, and love of music. His enormous impact on the music scene in New York and around the world are an indelible part of New York City music history. We are extremely happy to have Luis “LoftKid” Vargas from the Loft family say a few words about his memories of David and his experiences at the Loft.
Groove Collective performed at Loft events in the early 90s, which had great significance for the group. Members of the band + guests will be on hand doing live mash ups with some Loft classics and old school NYC grooves.
This event is being hosted by the MOMENT NYC Community.

Philip Glass is celebrating his 80th birthday with the world premiere of his Symphony No. 11, performed by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz under Dennis Russell Davies. The sold out performance will take place on his birthday, Tuesday Jan 31st at Carnegie Hall.
In an interview with New York Times reporter WILLIAM ROBIN, Glass says modestly, “…I’ve only been writing symphonies for the last 30 years…”
Happy Birthday Philip Glass!

In yet another example of New York City’s inability to support it’s music industry, the legendary mastering facility Materdisk has moved to Peekskill. While they are still one of the world’s top facilities they will no longer be one of NYC’s attractions to musicians and producers looking for high end audio mastering services.
Masterdisk’s clients have included Steely Dan, Bob Dylan, Bowie, U2, Jay-Z, The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Kanye West, Spoon, Nirvana, Lou Reed, Sting, David Gorillaz, and John Zorn among countless others.
Founded in 1973, Masterdisk is currently owned and operated by Scott Hull who has been at its helm since 2008. Scott was the assistant to Bob Ludwig from 1984-1993, subsequently becoming the chief engineer.
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Hull on a few of the Groove Collective records released in the 90s. While there has always been an endless churn of businesses in NYC, it is safe to say there is unlikely to be a mastering facility on the level of Masterdisk, to replace it anytime soon.
