Original
concert date: Saturday, April 2, 2016
A special
Jazz Appreciation Month concert from April 2016 premiered six songs from NEA
Jazz Master Hubert Law’s repertoire arranged for the 17-piece Pittsburgh Jazz
Orchestra. While some of the arrangements were based on early Hubert Laws
recordings, a couple – by Mike Tomaro – were created specifically for the
occasion. This book of music went on to be used for the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks
Orchestra’s World tour “Jazz Beyond Borders” that featured Hubert Laws as
guest soloist.
