Born in New Orleans and of both African American and Jewish heritage, his writings were heavily influenced by jazz much like his contemporary Beat Generation poets and associates Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. He frequently spoke to the power of jazz in its unbridled expression and its ability to question authority. My work references the deep traditions of New Orleans music while utilizing the symphonic breadth of the modern wind symphony with the goal of evoking both Kaufman's fiery language and his steadfast love of jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Murphy Music Press","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":45159747682383,"sku":"W-1,658","price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45159747715151,"sku":"W-1,658A","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/006b1120ff5fea940aec53c1a7b4197b.png?v=1777654635"},{"product_id":"david-flaxen-tresses-murphy","title":"David: Flaxen Tresses","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/james-m-david\"\u003eJames M.

The simple pentatonic arpeggiated melody is transformed into a bold fanfare depicting an imaginary retro-futurist cityscape of golden light and steel spires. Densely layered textures give way to a tranquil central adagio that highlight Debussy's rich linear harmonies and textures. Building rhythmic intensity and heavy ostinati utilizing parallel fourths and fifths portray flying automobiles racing on aerial highways. Finally, a chorale-like statement of the opening melody presented in layered canons leads to a massive cadence as we zoom out to see the full majesty of our imaginary metropolis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Murphy Music Press","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":45159748698191,"sku":"W-1,659","price":163.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45159748730959,"sku":"W-1,659A","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/6183415a5f30e948c64e55337307b0df.png?v=1777654886"},{"product_id":"david-call-to-commitment-murphy","title":"David: Call to Commitment","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/james-m-david\"\u003eJames M.
