DESCRIPTION:<!--StartFragment-->Japanese-born New York City-based jazz comp
 oser/conductor Asuka Kakitani is fast becoming a notable presence on the m
 odern jazz big band scene. Her awards include the <strong>BMI Foundation&r
 squo\;s</strong> <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Charlie Parker Jazz Composi
 tion Prize</strong>\, the prestigious <strong>Manny Albam Commission </str
 ong>in 2007<strong>\,</strong> and <strong>Composer Assistance Grants</str
 ong> from the <strong>American Music Center </strong>in 2009 and 2010. The
  Asuka Kakitani Jazz Orchestra will perform Asuka&rsquo\;s compositions th
 at are inspired by art\, literature\, and nature. These works capture this
  inspiration in orchestrational color and melodic development via extended
  through-composed forms. Asuka attempts to balance her composed music with
  a palette for her incredibly creative soloists to express themselves. AKJ
 O will also perform some of her interpretations of traditional Japanese ch
 ildren&rsquo\;s music\, which she &ldquo\;re-composes&rdquo\; by utilizing
  many of their simple motives for thematic development filtered through th
 e language of her distinct harmonic and melodic concept.<!--EndFragment-->
