Blues Shuffle Kerfuffle by Omar Thomas (world premiere)

Akropolis gives the world premiere of Omar Thomas' new reed quintet, Moods and Attitudes. Enjoy the first movement, titled Blues shuffle kerkluffle. Commissioned by the Akropolis Reed Quintet with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Moods and Attitudes contains three distinct movements which ask the quintet to perform acrobatic music of many styles from the mind of one of today's leading jazz composers, Omar Thomas. The invitation from Akropolis for Mr Thomas' first classical chamber work comes as the quintet continues its decade-plus journey combining classical and jazz music into unique, and often undefinable, new musical works. The first movement is a blues shuffle with some significant contemporary alterations. The second movement is a heavily-mournful early/mid 20th century jazz ballad in the style of one of the composer's heroes, Billy Strayhorn. The closing movement appropriately chooses the bebop era for an exciting ending. Premiered at NOLA Chamber Fest on 3/23/23.
