Day at the Dog Races takes a thoughtful turn, from Thelonious Monk’s enduring melodies to the spiritual reach of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, presented in four parts across three different ensembles.
Warm ballads and small-group conversations give way to searching solos, insistent rhythms, and the broad possibilities of the orchestra. There’s tenderness here, but also urgency—a willingness to sit with a melody, follow a difficult question, and hear where it leads. Set aside some time and listen closely.
