Stride piano was an update of ragtime, and heard everywhere in Harlem in the 1920’s. They called James P. Johnson "The Father of Stride Piano," but he preferred to be known as "The Dean of Jazz Pianists." Johnson is well-established in the jazz history books for his peerless piano playing, documented on record beginning in 1923, while the general audience remembers him for penning several hit songs, including "If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight," "Old Fashioned Love," "A Porter’s Love Song to a Chambermaid," and an anthem of the Jazz Age, "The Charleston."

For the Mark Morris suite YOU’VE GOT TO BE MODERNISTIC, I transcribed favorite performances and then arranged them to be suitable for any qualified pianist. While there are a few new transitions and endings, the score is generally very close to Johnson’s original recordings, with one drastic exception: His most famous piece, "The Charleston," has been placed in a meter unknown in social dance, 5/4, an intentionally "modernistic" touch. — Ethan Iverson

WHO'S MARK MORRIS?

MARK MORRIS (Artistic Director) was born on August 29, 1956, in Seattle, Washington, where he studied with Verla Flowers and Perry Brunson. In the early years of his career, he performed with the companies of Lar Lubovitch, Hannah Kahn, Laura Dean, Eliot Feld, and the Koleda Balkan Dance Ensemble. He formed the Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) in 1980 and has since created over 150 works for the company. From 1988 to 1991, he was Director of Dance at Brussels’ Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, the national opera house of Belgium. In 1990, he founded the White Oak Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov. Much in demand as a ballet choreographer, Morris has created 22 ballets since 1986, and his work has been performed by companies worldwide, including San Francisco Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Ballet am Rhein, Dusseldorf, and the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Noted for his musicality, Morris has been described as “undeviating in his devotion to music” (The New Yorker). He began conducting performances for MMDG in 2006 and has since conducted at Tanglewood Music Center, Lincoln Center, and BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). He served as Music Director for the 2013 Ojai Music Festival. He also works extensively in opera, directing and choreographing productions for the Metropolitan Opera; New York City Opera; English National Opera; and The Royal Opera, Covent Garden; among others. He was named a Fellow of the MacArthur Foundation in 1991 and has received eleven honorary doctorates to date. He has taught at the University of Washington, Princeton University, and Tanglewood Music Center. A Doris Duke Artist, Morris is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the

American Philosophical Society and has served as an Advisory Board Member for the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative. He has received the Samuel H. Scripps/American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Leonard Bernstein Lifetime Achievement Award for the Elevation of Music in Society, the Benjamin Franklin Laureate Prize for Creativity, the International Society for the Performing Arts’ Distinguished Artist Award, Cal Performances Award of Distinction in the Performing Arts, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s Gift of Music Award, and the 2016 Doris Duke Artist Award. In 2015, Morris was inducted into the Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Dance in Saratoga Springs, New York. He is the subject of a biography, Mark Morris, by Joan Acocella (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), and Marlowe & Company published a volume of photographs and critical essays entitled Mark Morris’ L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato: A Celebration Mark Morris: Musician-Choreographer, by musicologist Stephanie Jordan, was released in 2015. Morris’ memoir, Out Loud, co-written with Wesley Stace, was published in paperback by Penguin Press in October 2021. Morris opened the Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn, New York, in 2001 to provide a home for his company, subsidized rental space for local artists, community education programs for children and seniors, and a school offering dance classes to students of all ages and levels of experience with and without disabilities.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Closing out its 45th anniversary, the MARK MORRIS DANCE GROUP (MMDG) stands as a beacon of artistic excellence and innovation in the world of dance. Founded in 1980, the company made its debut in New York City and quickly rose to prominence with a touring schedule that expanded across the U.S. and around the globe. In 1986, MMDG captivated national audiences with its first television appearance on PBS’s Dance in America, and just two years later, it was named the national dance company of Belgium, enjoying a prestigious three-year residency at Brussels’ Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. Returning to the U.S. in 1991, MMDG solidified its reputation as one of the world’s leading dance companies.

Now in its third season at The Joyce Theater, MMDG has a long and celebrated history of performing at Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart and White Light Festivals, as well as at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), where it continues to appear regularly. The company also maintains deep-rooted partnerships with major cultural institutions, including its West Coast home, Cal Performances in Berkeley, and its Midwest home at the Krannert Center at the University of Illinois.

MMDG’s international acclaim includes two Laurence Olivier Awards and a Critics’ Circle Dance Award for Best Foreign Dance Company, earned during its celebrated London seasons. True to founder Mark Morris’s vision, the company has performed with live music at every show since the creation of the MMDG Music Ensemble in 1996. Collaborations with world-renowned artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax, Stephanie Blythe, and Ethan Iverson, as well as leading orchestras like the Metropolitan Opera and London Symphony Orchestra, have become hallmarks of the company’s performances.

MMDG also boasts a rich history of interdisciplinary collaborations with visual artists and designers including Robert Bordo, Howard Hodgkin, Adrianne Lobel, Allen Moyer, Isaac Mizrahi, and Martin Pakledinaz. Its film and television work includes Dido and Aeneas, The Hard Nut, Falling Down Stairs, and PBS’s Great Performances broadcast of L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato

Beyond the stage, MMDG is deeply committed to community engagement, offering inclusive arts and humanities programs for people of all ages and abilities wherever it tours. As it marks 45 years of groundbreaking artistry, MMDG continues to inspire, innovate, and connect through the power of dance.

Integral to the Mark Morris Dance Group’s identity, the MMDG MUSIC ENSEMBLE celebrates three decades of musical excellence. Formed in 1996 to fulfill Morris’s unwavering commitment to live music, the Ensemble has accompanied every MMDG performance since its inception—an artistic choice that sets the company apart. As Classical Voice of North Carolina aptly put it: “With the dancers come the musicians… and what a difference it makes.”

Led by Music Director Colin Fowler, who began collaborating with MMDG in 2005 during the creation of Mozart Dances, the Ensemble’s repertoire spans centuries—from the baroque elegance of Henry Purcell to the contemporary rhythms of Ethan Iverson, Lou Harrison, and Henry Cowell. The musicians are not only performers but also participate in MMDG’s community and educational initiatives both at home and on tour.

COLIN FOWLER (Music Director, Piano) began his musical study at the age of five in Kansas City, went on to study at the Interlochen Arts Academy, and continued his education at The Juilliard School, where he received his Bachelor of Music in 2003 and his Master of Music in 2005. While at Juilliard, he studied piano with Abbey Simon, organ with Gerre Hancock and Paul Jacobs, harpsichord with Lionel Party, and conducting with James dePriest and Judith Clurman. A versatile musician and conductor, Fowler works in many areas of the music scene in New York City. He is a veteran conductor and keyboardist of many Broadway shows, including Jersey Boys, In the Heights, Wicked, and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. As a classical soloist and collaborative artist, he has performed and recorded with many world-renowned musicians and ensembles, including Deborah Voigt, Renée Fleming, The Knights, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He has arranged and conducted for numerous TV and film productions, including Yellowstone and Greta Gerwig's Little Women. He began to collaborate with the Mark Morris Dance Group in 2005 and has performed over 60 pieces with the company on almost every keyboard instrument possible, including the harmonium and toy piano. He has conducted performances of Mozart Dances, Acis and Galatea, The Hard Nut, and L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, and helped edit and create over 15 videodances with Mark Morris during the pandemic. Hailed by The New York Times as “invaluable” and “central to Morris’ music,” he was appointed Music Director in 2013.

ABI FAYETTE (Violin) is a member of the Grammy-nominated Catalyst Quartet and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, where she serves as Artistic Director. With Catalyst Quartet, she performs extensively throughout the United States and abroad, and recently completed the UNCOVERED project — four volumes on Azica Records dedicated to string quartet music by historically important Black composers. The third volume, which features quartets by William Grant Still, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, and George Walker, received a Grammy nomination, and the fourth and final volume features the complete string quartets of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. An active chamber musician, Fayette has collaborated with Jonathan Biss, Brett Dean, Gary Hoffman, Kim Kashkashian, Anthony McGill, Marcy Rosen, Jörg Widmann, and Peter Wiley. Fayette frequently performs at festivals including Music from Marlboro, Music in the Vineyards, Chamber Music Northwest, Music from Angel Fire, and Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival. Her touring has taken her across the United States, Europe, and Asia, with upcoming appearances on Musicians of Marlboro tours. She grew up the youngest of four children in a musical family, beginning violin studies at three. Her training took her to The Juilliard School's Pre-College Division, The Curtis Institute of Music, and New England Conservatory, where her teachers included Shirley Givens, Kyung-Wha Chung, Ida Kavafian, Joseph Silverstein, and Soovin Kim. Fayette is also Professor of Violin at the Conservatory of Music at SUNY Purchase. Abi plays on an 1860 violin by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, on loan from Marlboro Music.

ETHAN IVERSON (Piano) helped form The Bad Plus, a revolutionary and wildly successful avant-garde trio that The New York Times said was “Better than anyone at melding the sensibilities of post-60’s jazz and indie rock.” Since leaving TBP, Iverson has released critically-acclaimed jazz albums on ECM and Blue Note, often accompanied by bonafide jazz stars such as Tom Harrell or Jack DeJohnette. Downbeat has called Iverson “A master of melody” while Hot House recently raved, "Known for his intellectual depth and adventurous musical spirit, Ethan Iverson has traversed the boundaries of jazz tradition while leaving an indelible mark on its evolution.” After witnessing a 2024 concert of jazz standards spontaneously chosen by the audience, Stereophile wrote, “Iverson is a natural, consistent crowd-pleaser. For his entire career, he has been finding ways to be accessible while pushing the envelope.” Iverson also has a long-standing relationship with choreographer Mark Morris, and within the last decade has created the scores to two recent Morris successes, Pepperland and The Look of Love. On top of his activities as a pianist and composer, Iverson has an active career as a writer, publishing significant criticism in The Nation, JazzTimes, The New York Times, and the Culture Desk of The New Yorker, in addition to posting frequently on his Substack, Transitional Technology.

ANDREW JANSS (Cello) has been hailed by The New York Times for his "glowing tone," "insightful musicianship," and "sumptuous elegance.” He has been featured at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Louvre Museum, and has collaborated with a long list of the world’s greatest artists, including Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Lynn Harrell, Leon Fleisher, Richard Goode, and members of the Emerson, Guarneri, Juilliard, and Takacs Quartets. He has performed as principal cellist of the renowned St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. From 2007 to 2010, Janss was a resident artist at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center as part of CMS 2 with the Escher String Quartet, which he helped found. He has performed at the Ravinia, Music@Menlo, Santa Fe, La Jolla Summerfest, and Marlboro Music Festivals. He tours regularly across the United States with MMDG and joined the Dance Group on tours to the United Kingdom, Italy, and China. Janss has been invited to residencies at Notre Dame, Tulane, Virginia Commonwealth University, SUNY Stony Brook, and the University of Idaho.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION

The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 500 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION

VISION STATEMENT

The Joyce Theater Foundation is committed to fostering and supporting a diverse and inclusive environment, both on and off stage. We embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms, and value the rich experiences and perspectives that arise from differences in race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and cognitive and physical ability.

We strive to counteract the social injustices and racism that exist within our communities, our nation, and our world. Our aim as an organization is to embody the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

To achieve this, we will:

• Create and implement proactive diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice initiatives;

• Establish and maintain a culture of safe sharing, intentional listening, learning, and growth;

• Engage with and support disenfranchised communities by sharing information and resources and ensuring accessibility;

• Develop metrics and conduct regular reviews of our programs and policies to hold ourselves accountable and shift as neededs.

With these goals in place and our Vision Statement in mind, we are dedicated to the continued learning and growth needed to foster an inclusive environment for all. This is an ongoing process and by nature will be an evolving statement.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.

We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.

It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
