Tim Ishii and UTA
Dig U(niversity) examines the great work of Tim Ishii at The University of Texas at Arlington...
The first installment of the “Dig U(niversity)” series where we have a look at one of the MANY fine university jazz programs in the world. In this case it’s my pal Tim Ishii: alto saxophonist and educator DELUXE! Tim and I are in the midst of a big project that’s being called “Telling Stories. UTA Plays the Music of Stee Wiest.” It’s a super fun endeavor where I’m writing eight new pieces for modern big band featuring myself with the stellar students under Tims’s direction at The University of Texas, Arlington.
Stay tuned…
