David Amram's career as a versatile composer, conductor and multi-instrumentalist spans more than 70 years. Recorded here in its world premiere, Voyages for solo violin in three movements is reminiscent of ancient Egypt, Native American and African roots music and, in the composer's words, "the tradition of the fiddler as keeper of the flame". The Piano Sonata, which ranges from prayer-like melodies to blues and polyrhythms, is one of the 20th century's most jazz-influenced works in the genre, while the Violin Sonata combines classical and jazz expressions in music that inspired a collaboration with the writer Jack Kerouac.
