The Code Ensemble- LIVE AT RED CAT IN LA
The Herb Alpert Creative Music Series-January 29th-30th, 2010
In this two night sell out, The 14-member Code Ensemble delivered an exciting and imaginative contemporary rethink of David Shire’s classic crime-jazz score for the 1974 N.Y.C. subway caper movie. Horowitz and the Code brought everything from strings and horns to laptop sampler for a high-energy brew of classical, jazz, funk and rock as they performed alongside a projection of Jane Brill’s film. Then the group mashed up musical tropes from science fiction films in Invasion from the Chicken Planet with projected video by Zig Gron. The program also showcased Horowitz’s 2nd String Quartet and a set of works by Randy Hostetler. We also got a pre-concert discussion with Steve Horowitz, Jane Brill, Zig Gron and David Shire. This two night stand was funded in part with generous support from the American Music Center, Meet the Composer’s Metlife Creative Connections program, Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA), JPMorgan Chase Foundation, Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone (UMEZ), George Mason and Pamela Wilson, and the Randy Hostetler Living Room Music Fund.
