Improvisation Chamber Ensemble; 2

No Wayne State University improvisation chamber ensemble was organized in 1966 by Dr. Ruth Wylie. The group was originally conceived as a teaching aid but soon it was receiving enthusiastic reactions from concert audiences during the past year Dr. Wiley's Chamber Ensemble has performed in several states and an entirely new idiom of musical performance has been developed by the performances still maintain their experimental character. Now I'm here with tonight's programme of improvisation is Professor Ruth Wylie of Wayne State University. Thank you and good evening. The second program by the Wayne State University improvisation Chamber Ensemble. Will be very similar to the first in the sense that we intend to do one number in two different versions for you and then fill out the program with one or more free improvisations at the at the end of the program. This work in this work we will make use of a smaller group than the five that we normally make use. And this is a trio written by one of our members John Wray our trio

for flute percussion and piano. No I'm sorry it's double bass and trumpet double bass and piano. The reason I'm confused is we have done it in other versions too. But I'll reiterate that so you can be sure to get it right. This is piano trumpet percussion trio by John Ray. Although I usually play the flute in the group once in a while I like to play the piano in the some of these performances because it's a little more enjoyable and perhaps I may do a little better at it. So I will be playing the piano in this number and in both versions as a matter of fact so that you can see that there is a difference even when the same performer is involved at the piano. So the first version for you. With myself at the piano. Jim Hart way percussion Frank Bucholtz trumpet. A trio By JOHN RHEA.
