Episode: Rose Lewis and Her Distinctive Original Jazz
Description: Rose Lewis was a member first of an award winning Lawrence University’s Conservatory of Music. She went on to perform with major artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Diane Reeves, teaching school based bands, and has freelanced with a greater number of groups than can be listed here. Way back in 1991, Rose won the Minnesota Composer’s Forum’s Composer Commissioning Project, and that opened the door to performing her work. Unfortunately, Rose was on the shelf due to illness for 16 years, and she is back, teaching and composing. Rose got together to talk about her composing with Phil Nusbaum.
