For Immediate Release - New York, NY - On April 19th at Shapeshifter Lab, the 'CompCord @ 40' festival begins appropriately with an anniversary CD release party. The new compilation album 'CompCord @ 40,' featuring the music of more than twenty contemporary composers, as well as cover art by Graham Elliott (Living Colour), will be issued on the CCR label, distributed by Naxos.
Performers at the event include the cutting-edge brass ensemble B3+: Franz Hackl - trumpet, John Clark - horn, and David Taylor - bass trombone, together with Gene Pritsker - Di.J. The group will premiere Pritsker's composition 'Every Man Over Forty Is a Scoundrel,' which takes its title from George Bernard Shaw's 'Man and Superman (1903) - Maxims: Stray Sayings.' In addition, B3+ will perform Taylor's composition 'Fanfares for Our Mothers,' and Clark's 'Variations on America the Beautiful.'...
