Choral Chameleon Ensemble gives the live premiere and record release of Ed Thompson's "Step Into the Night" - a twelve movement work with jazz saxophone quartet written as a response to the pandemic of 2020.
With Saxophonist, Jeff Walton and The Brad Whiteley Trio.
Composer, Edward Thompson affirms human strength and beckons the listener toward facing fears and conquering challenges in this stunning 12-movement choral soliloquy written as a response to the ever-changing state of the world. Drawing on Renaissance ideals and an inter-genre collaboration between Bachian choral textures and smoky jazz harmonies, the composer himself moves boldly out of his own wheelhouse in this shockingly inspirational work - practicing what he preaches. The encompassing image of a lone saxophone player on an empty street corner in what was once a bustling city reminds us that the true source of our strength as humans comes from within and is always present for us to claim.
