This past week, Chamber Music America announced the recipients of it's $285,000 funding project to support the production of new and adventurous music projects. Receipients included French pianist Benoit Delbecq, guitarist David Gilmore (not the guitarist from Pink Floyd), Brooklyn based pianist Fred Hersch, trumpeter Dave Douglas, and saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh. Each recipient formed a plan to compose new music in a way that was somehow new or unique. Each performance or recording will somehow include either unique inspirations, be presented through a new medium, or include rare combinations of instruments.
