Details:
TEN represents the culmination of a decade of music making by the Asian American Orchestra. Originally founded in 1998 with federal funds for a national education program on the Japanese American internment experience, the Orchestra has since garnered international acclaim for its unique sound blending Asian instruments and sensibilities with the sonorities and improvisation of jazz. This compilation features the musical breadth of the Orchestra’s repertoire, from original works to reinterpretations of classics by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Thelonious Monk, George Gershwin and Charles Mingus.
