Reyvolation Feat. Brent Birckhead for CMC International Jazz Fest 2019

Co-Sponsored by the Burchfield Penney Art Center

Reyvolation: An homage to Rey Scott Performer, Sun-Ra Arkestra member, composer, musical innovator, and professor of African- American Music. (March 22, 1944 June 23, 2018)

A gathering of ten musical souls, engendered to paying homage to the ancestral sounds of the great Rey Scott will reimagine Scotts sound explorations over the course of his career. The ensemble will revisit Scotts ever-evolving style, delving deep within themselves to seamlessly reconnect jazz to its roots, while consciously and simultaneously working to uproot it. For an added bonus, an adventurous collaboration with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will incorporate small group, full ensemble and call and response formats, in the spirit of the famed musician, professor, and historian.
