ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
David Detweiler, Assistant Professor of Jazz Saxophone, previously served as Director of Jazz Studies at Nazareth College (Rochester, NY). He has performed at many of New York City’s premiere live-music venues, such as The Blue Note, Birdland, The Knitting Factory, and The Iridium. His first record as a leader, New York Stories, recorded in Tallahassee with Leon Anderson, Clarence Seay, Chris Pattishall, and Rick Lollar, received a favorable review by Scott Yanow. His second record as a leader, The Dave Detweiler Trio featuring Fumi Tomita and Alex Patrick, was released in August 2015. Detweiler studied at both the University of North Texas and William Paterson University, receiving the BM degree from William Paterson. He received the MM degree from Florida State University in 2010 and the DMA degree from the Eastman School of Music in 2015. His teachers include Ramon Ricker, Charles Pillow, Bill Kennedy, Gary Smulyan, and Steve Wilson.
ABOUT THE FEATURED GUEST
Whether blowing bebop over a Mingus tune or freely improvising with Anthony Braxton, Michael Rabinowitz’s contributions have changed the conception of what the bassoon can do. Since graduating with a BFA in music performance from SUNY at Purchase in the late seventies Michael’s improvisatory skills opened the door for the bassoon to enter a variety of musical environments not traditionally associated with the instrument.
He has recorded with Ira Sullivan, Red Rodney, Wynton Marsalis, John Hicks, Dave Douglas, Chris Potter and Joe Lovano. His festival appearances include Chicago, Montreal, Berlin, Tri, city, Tanglewood, San Francisco and Hollywood Bowl. Michael is a founding member of The Charles Mingus Orchestra which can be heard regularly at the Jazz Standard in NYC. His quartet Bassoon and the Wild has performed at the The Vanderbilt Planetarium, Frick Museum, JVC Jazz Festival, Penn State, Kavehaz, and other venues in NYC. Ocean Eyes is Michael’s 5th CD and documents the development of his quartet with mostly original compositions. The Buffet Group USA has been Michael’s sponsor for the past fifteen years and has supported his participation in performances and master classes at the IDRS most notably the Jazz at June Festival in Oklahoma with oboist Paul McCandless. In 2009 Michael was awarded a grant from Chamber Music of America in collaboration with French oboist Jean Luc Fillon and released their CD On the Reed Again. In 2014, Michael formed a group called The Odd Couple Quintet with jazz horn virtuoso John Clark. Michael has conducted masters classes at many universities and has released four feature albums.
