DESCRIPTION:Japanese-born New York City-based jazz composer/conductor Asuka
  Kakitani is fast becoming a notable presence on the modern jazz big band 
 scene. Her awards include the BMI Foundation’s 2006 Charlie Parker Jazz 
 Composition Prize\, the prestigious Manny Albam Commission in 2007\, and C
 omposer Assistance Grants from the American Music Center in 2009 and 2010.
  The Asuka Kakitani Jazz Orchestra will perform Asuka’s compositions tha
 t 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. AKJO
  will also perform some of her interpretations of traditional Japanese chi
 ldren’s music\, which she “re-composes” by utilizing many of their s
 imple motives for thematic development filtered through the language of he
 r distinct harmonic and melodic concept.
