Billy Novick's Blue Syncopators: ''MUSIC FROM THE GREAT GATSBY''

Event Date: 
Friday, January 25, 2013 - 8:00pm

Billy Novick is internationally recognized as a musician, performer, arranger and composer. He has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia, and has made spotlight appearances at numerous festivals, including the Kool, Newport, Edinburgh, Brecon (Wales), Marsiac (France), Breda (Netherlands) and L.A. Classic jazz festivals, as well as the Philadelphia and Winnipeg folk festivals. If you haven't had a chance to see him perform in concert, you've undoubtedly heard his clarinet and sax on the countless recordings, film scores, television shows and commercials where he has been featured.

He recently created a musical score for The Washington Ballet's adaptation of The Great Gatsby, which premiered to seven sold-out houses at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. His jugband adaptation of Peter and the Wolf (on Alcazar Records, with Dave Van Ronk narrating) was premiered in New York's Lincoln Center in 1992, and his orchestral arrangements have been performed throughout the US and Europe.
