Modern Jazz Classics by Phil Moore
| DHIL MOORE is a gifted musician about whom more is likely to be heard. Because he combines jazz idiom with classical techniques, fans say his music is ostentatious. But to find a work for solo piano and orchestra that matches in excitement and scope his Piano Concerto one has to go back nearly 30 years to Geshwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. A programme called Modern | Jazz Classics, consisting of Phil Moore compositions played by the Phil Moore | Orchestra, will be broadcast from 1YD
at 9.30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 14, and repeated later from the other National stations. Besides the Piano Concerto, the programme includes Moore’s Trombone Concerto (composed with Nat Shilkret), his 125th Street Prophet, Cornucopia, and Misty Moon Blues. Calvin Jackson is soloist in the Piano Concerto, and Murray McEachern in the Trombone Concerto, Phil Moore was born in Portland, Oregon, and educated at the University of Washington. Since then he has been living in California and doing occasional work for the films. —
