Charles Pillow

Charles Pillow

I haven’t been blogging much, it is true. But I have been out so many evenings that there has been no time to sit at the computer.

Pouria has been keeping track of the concerts coming out of the Monday Night Jazz Series. He gave me a heads up that we could hear Charles Pillow (saxaphone)with the UofC Jazz Orchestra on Monday night. Pillow’s programme bio says he is one of the premier woodwind multi-instrumentalists of today.

Pillow composes and arranges. Lucky for us.  We heard a jazz arrangement of Mussorgksy’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”. While watching the performance I remembered again the joy of watching musicians play – the movement of their bodies. Just wonderful. That is one thing a recording can’t give you.
