Episode 12-Composers and Coffee with Kelly Rossum
Nolan’s guest on the program is jazz trumpet player and composer Kelly Rossum. Rossum is gaining an international reputation as a creative force in the definition of modern jazz. It is difficult to describe his style as anything but unique; combining the traditions of swing, bop and free jazz with the innovations of electronica, ambient and trance music. Kelly has presented music master classes throughout the United States as well as in Europe and Asia. He has appeared on over 20 CD recordings as well as studio sessions for Asche & Spencer and is currently the Jazz Coordinator at MacPhail Center for Music in downtown Minneapolis. His new album, Line, was just released in October of 2006.
