Throughout its rich and varied history, The Buffalo Jazz Composers Workshop has established itself as a prominent institution dedicated to the creation and performance of original compositions and innovative arrangements. This workshop has drawn inspiration from an eclectic mix of musicians, showcasing a wide range of influences that include the avant-garde stylings of Thelonious Monk, the experimental rock sounds of Frank Zappa, and the iconic riffs and rhythms of The Rolling Stones. Each of these artists has contributed unique elements to the workshop's musical tapestry, allowing for a fusion of jazz with various genres and styles.

New works will feature a diverse array of talented musicians, each bringing their own unique voice and perspective to the ensemble. The compositions will encompass a variety of styles and techniques, showcasing the versatility of the musicians involved. The performance will highlight the interplay between improvisation and structured composition, a hallmark of jazz that allows for spontaneous creativity while still maintaining a cohesive artistic vision.
This upcoming presentation promises to be a celebration of creativity and collaboration, with each piece offering a fresh perspective on the jazz idiom, rooted in the rich tradition of its predecessors while looking boldly toward the future.
The Buffalo Jazz Composers Workshop continues to be a vital force in the jazz community, fostering new talent and innovative ideas that resonate well beyond the confines of the stage.
