“A beautifully performed concert program of music by African-American composers.
Lecolion Washington, Jr., a faculty member at the University of Memphis, has put together an intriguing mix of works for bassoon by African-American composers. Ranging from William Grant Still, who was born in 1895 to Daniel Bernard Roumain, born in 1970, the collection offers a concise history of African-Americans composers who have concentrated on classical music. Altogether a beautifully performed concert program of music for bassoon.” [William Grant Still (1895-1978) and Ulysses S. Kay (1917-1995) are profiled at AfriClassical.com, which features a comprehensive Works List for each of them by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma, http://www.CasaMusicaledeLerma.com]
