Orbert Davis' Collective Creativity is the long awaited debut CD by Chicago Jazz Philharmonic (CJP), a barrier-breaking and genre-bending fifty-five-plus-piece orchestra that has the flexibility, instrumentation and talent to perform music ranging from big band classics to symphonic works. With a mastery of diverse stylist requirements, the CJP possesses the skills to perform in an exciting arena that bridges classical music and jazz.
The new disc is a synthesis of these talents. Featuring AACM members Nicole Mitchell, Ari Brown, Ed Wilkerson and Mwata Bowden, the movements of the "Collective Creativity" Suite recall the tragedy of human bondage; reflect the significance of community and collaboration; represents unity and
diversity; promotes the importance of individuality; and emphasizes legacy and heritage. There's also a special guest appearance by vocalist Terisa Griffin. The CD will be available November 15 at chijazzphil.org.
