The award-winning Broken Frames Syndicate (BFS) based in Frankfurt, Germany makes its US-debut presenting a program of internationally diverse composers with a focus on composer-trumpeter Jalalu-Kalvert Nelson. At one time a New York staple, Nelson makes his heartfelt return to the city after living 30 years in Biel, Switzerland. Over the course of a five-year period, the members of BFS have become intimate with Nelson‘s musical language resulting in many new solo/chamber works, and European premieres from Nelson‘s time in the USA. At the core of the program is Nelson’s trumpet concerto Jim is still crowing featuring the composer as soloist. This work was written specifically for the musicians of BFS, with each member’s individual voice in conversation with the solo trumpet. Nelson’s background as a composer, trumpeter, and improviser shines through in this personal expression of the times we are living in. The world premiere of Jim is still crowing was given at the Naxoshalle concert series in Frankfurt, Germany in November 2022 with further performances at the Lucerne Festival (August 2023) by the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra, and Rainy Days Festival (November 2023) in Luxembourg. The piece will receive its US premiere at Roulette in this concert.
