Calefax Reed Quintet

Musical portrait of America's kaleidoscopic diversity
The winds of Calefax embark on a musical road trip across the United States in An American Rhapsody. The program includes several famous composers from different eras and backgrounds, from Florence Price, Harry Burleigh, George Gershwin, Samuel Barber and Moondog to Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Billie Strayhorn, Stevie Wonder and Kinan Azmeh. Taken together, these pieces reflect the kaleidoscopic diversity of America and its rich yet complex culture and history. The album is a declaration of love for a country that Calefax has visited frequently over the past two decades and that continues to fascinate him.
