UMO in Wayne Shorter's Footprints at Savoy-teatteri

In their second lunch concert of the season, UMO will delve into the repertory of Wayne Shorter.
Saxophonist-composer Wayne Shorter (b. 1933, USA) is regarded as one of the greatest jazz composers who are still alive and active. He has been a central character in the development of jazz since the 1950s, working with the likes of Miles Davis, Weather Report and Jazz Messengers. He was rewarded for his life work at the Grammy Awards a couple of years ago.
In the concert UMO will be playing big band renditions of Shorter’s key compositions initially written for his smaller ensembles. The programme will also include one completely new Shorter-arrangement from Mikko Hassinen. The pearls featuring in the concert have been handpicked mainly from the 1960s Shorter by the conductor Ville Vannemaa....

UMO paneutuu syyskauden toisessa lounaskonsertissaan Wayne Shorterin tuotantoon.
Saksofonisti-säveltäjä Wayne Shorteria (s. 1933, USA) pidetään yhtenä suurimmista edelleen aktiivisesti työskentelevistä jazzsäveltäjistä. Hän on ollut keskeinen hahmo jazzmusiikin kehityksessä jo 1950-luvun lopulta lähtien. Pitkän uransa aikana Shorter on työskennellyt mm. Miles Davisin kanssa sekä Weather Report ja Jazz Messengers -yhtyeissä. Hänet palkittiin pari vuotta sitten Grammy-gaalassa elämäntyöstään erikoispalkinnolla.
Konsertissa kuullaan big band -versiot Shorterin lähes jazzstandardien asemaan nousseista sävellyksistä omille pienemmille yhtyeilleen. Mukana on myös yksi uusi sovitus Mikko Hassiselta. Herkkupalat pääosin Shorterin 1960-luvun tuotannosta on poiminut konsertin kapellimestari Ville Vannemaa.
Konsertti pidetään Savoy-teatterin salissa klo 12-13 ja siihen on vapaa pääsy. Voit varmistaa paikkasi konsertissa varaamalla lipun Savoy-teatterin lipunmyyntipisteestä (0 €) tai Lippupisteestä (1 €). Voit halutessasi nauttia lounaan Ravintola Prestossa joko ennen tai jälkeen konsertin.
Tuotanto: UMO Jazz Orchestra, Savoy-teatteri ja Ravintola Presto.
