Album Title: Centra-fuge: Music of Charles L.Booker Jr., Vol I
Recording: New Mexico State University Symphonic Winds
Dr. Ken Van Winkle, conductor
Publisher: Mark 7028 - MCD
Centra-fuge will introduce the listener to the compositions of Charles L. Booker Jr. The New Mexico State University Symphonic Winds give a very respectable performance to his music. The title piece (Homage to Hank Levy and Don Ellis) is definitely a centrifuge in sound, rhythm, & energy. The recording also features American Dances, Carillon Celebration, and Symphony No.1 "Prophecy". Of special interest is The Rough Rider:Life & Times of Theodore Roosevelt; only one word describes this work-BULLY!! Booker's music shows an influence of jazz & pop styles blended well with symphonic prowess. A most interesting recording you should look into.
