It was exciting to perform my piece “The Express Train” with a new string septet arrangement by Eric Segnitz during my artist residency with Present Music in February. Below are previous versions of same tune that I did together with Gene Pritsker as well as with Jeremy Harman (…videos from Grand Central Station in NYC last year!) https://www.acesalisbury.com/projects/dObQPK

Excited to be invited guest singer at Tin Pan Allegiances at Opera America in NYC
“Most of the second half of the concert was devoted to the attractive, arty jazz of Swedish composer and singer Sophie Dunér. Her voice spanned well more than two octaves as she freely spun out Something to Say, Rain in Spain, Red Sailor Girl and The Express Train. I loved her edgy scat singing in Hey Doctor, in which a frenzied woman asks the physician for a remedy of love. It was fitting that the concert ended with a lovely jazz ballad, with Dunér and the ensemble performing Ornette Coleman’s What Reason Could I Give? in a stylish arrangement by Eric Segnitz.”
