Gregg Kallor - A Single Noon (2013)

A SINGLE NOON is a musical tableau of life in New York City that fuses the classical and jazz traditions Kallor loves into a new, deeply personal language. Weaving improvisation into the fabric of the composed music, the nine movements are evocative snapshots — moments of caffeinated bliss; embarrassing subway mishaps; the buzzing energy of a city driven by dynamic, thoughtful, talented, and slightly crazy people — that coalesce into a more complete story like an album of postcards, or memories. The 45-minute suite creates a seamless blend of music that eliminates the idea of genre.
