Program Notes
Jug Blues & Fat Pickin+ was written in 1986 and revised in 1990. Originally commissioned for the celebration of Tennessee's "Homecoming'86," it is without peer in the wind band repertoire. Inspired by recording of the Memphis Jug Band, the most recorded and perhaps most popular of the jug bands to spring up on Memphis' Beale Street in the late 1920's, and bluegrass banjo pickin', Freund's composition is a unique musical offering that melds "blues elements" with minimalist technique. The composer writes: The Blues should howl, whine, and wail like a harmonica solo, with the same freedom and indulgence one might hear in an unaccompanied blues improvisation. The entire Blues must have an unmetered cadenza-like quality. The Blues should never drag; the slowed-down sections must have great color and intensity of expression, whether sighing or wailing. The Pickin' doesn't need to be too fast, but has to have the kind of easy-going, self-gratifying, clear-headed virtuosity that characterized great pickers. The performer should communicate a spirit of good, clean, exuberant fun. --Don Freund
