is profiled at AfriClassical.com, which
features a comprehensive Works List
and a Bibliography by Dr. Dominique-René de Lerma,
I'll be playing three suites by Dett - Magnolia, Cinnamon Grove and Tropic Winter.
The event is free but donations make the music happen.
Pot luck from 7:00-8 PM, BYOB
The concert starts at 8pm
I am also very proud to report that my KickStarter fundraiser is well on its way with 1/3 of funds raised so far. With 34 days to go, there is still time for anyone who would like to contribute to receive advance copies of the release.
Nathaniel Dett
(1882-1943) was a great figure in American music, not only because he
was one of the earliest important composers of African descent, but
because he was one the first composers to find their own voice by using
American musical materials.
As
you know, I have already funded the mastering and engineering phases of
the recording myself. The project is already half complete. I have a
signed contract with PARMA Recordings to release the 2 CD set. My goal
is to raise $6000 to fund printing, pressing and marketing of the CD's.
I've gone this far, join me in finishing the project!

Thank you so much! I'm in Bonn now on the way to finish the recording Tuesday and Wednesday. I will let you know how it goes. All best, Clipper [Clipper Erickson]
