News from SUEZENNE FORDHAM[CHAMBER JAZZ LA]"NEW ORBITS" SERIES 08 09 Season

Our new season for my group started on October 5th08 with a fine concert at the South Pasadena Main Library Concert Hall. I have to be careful of my venues, as I have to have fine pianos, Steinway being the ultimate, because of the level of virtuosity of my players.

My players were; Charlie Domingo, Contrabass; Cassidy Turbin, Drums and Winds; and Rochelle Coatney, Drums and Latin Percussion... I have temporarily put the augmentation of my group to include TWO contrabasses on hold 'til the right players cross my path.That is an extraordinary combination, and it demands that the players totally subvert their egos and just think of the music and it all has to be for the good of the group, better yet the SOUND!

It has been a stretch losing Noah to the Big Apple, but there it is. I recieved a couple of really warm e mails from him in NY, and then just as suddenly as he appeared, he whooshhh disappeared. Sad, but was elated to hear from him... Still hasn't contacted the Icon Teddy Charles, the legendary Vibist from the East Coast...Will we ever ply together again, is he getting better as a Bassist?

For six years we were a Piano Trio, and with Noah leaving, and Darren Ross moving to Denver[!!!????<>] i was inspired to rethink the group.

I will have the album at last!!! that I recorded with Roberto Miranda, Contrabassist and Conguero, and unbelievable drummer Darren Ross for sale at the next concert, Thursday, October 30th 7 30 at Steinway Hall,12121 West Pico Blvd in West LA. Price is $15, so save your sheckles... and try and show up. This is a new venture, and we appreciate your support... because of the extended number of players,,, and all for You, our venturesome audience.

We all play Tibetan percussion.
