Press Release
This spring, NYBI will explore the styles of jazz, rock, and folk in the music of the 17th and 18th century. The program features Groove Theory, a concerto written for eminent baroque violinist Monica Huggett by jazz violinist Hollis Taylor in 2000. The composition features a fusion of jazz, rock, blues, and folk styles, all written idiomatically for Baroque strings and percussion, recontextualizing both the sonorities of the Baroque and the 20th century. NYBI will also explore the styles of jazz, rock, and folk in the music of the 17th and 18th centuries.
