Legendary bass trombonist Randall Hawes (35 years with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra; four years as guest with The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra; and eight years as a member of the Saito Kinen Orhcestra) and his longtime collaborator, pianist Kathryn Goodson present a new album featuring 15 works that span the history of their musical relationship. The title work, David Biedenbender’s Liquid Architecture, was inspired by the late Frank Gehry. “I have heard his structures described as ‘liquid architecture,’ and…I find this description to be both apt and stunningly beautiful … and I wanted to capture this same idea in music,” says Biedenbender. Hawes and Goodson gave the work’s premiere at the Bienen School of Music in 2011. Other selections on the album include works by Tom Dossett, Marjorie Van Hoy, Anthony Plog, Greg Waits, Daniel Schnyder, Duke Ellington, Wayne King, Donald Grantham, Larry McVey, Ellen Rowe, and Gregory Turner with several pieces dedicated to the performers.
