Produced by Chuck Ainlay and Lovett, the album features a mix of new originals, standards by Nat King Cole and Dave Frishberg, and a Horace Silver instrumental, representing Lovett’s dynamic live performances with his Large Band. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the new album continues to highlight Lovett’s ability to fuse elements of jazz, country, western swing, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Of the album, The Wall Street Journal hails, “Few artists can bring all of these moods and sounds into one place and put a personal stamp on them all; Lyle Lovett does that.” Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Whether touring with his Acoustic Group or his Large Band, Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of this Texas legend’s deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating musicians in popular music. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, Lovett has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers.

The San Diego Early Music Society presents Ensemble Constantinople: Dimitrie Cantemir: The Composer Prince Constantinople returns to San Diego to shine a light on the 18th-century Romanian prince Dimitrie Cantemir, whose anthology of instrumental music transcribed using his own notation technology remains one of the most important collections of Ottoman and Middle Eastern music from the 16th and 17th centuries. Ensemble Constantinople performs the music of Dimitrie Cantemir (1673-1723), a Moldavian prince, scholar, composer, and diplomat. A fascinating historical figure, Cantemir’s compositions are considered part of the Ottoman music repertoire. More influential, though, are the over 350 instrumental works that he preserved in his book Edvar-i Musiki using his own innovative notation system. This book remains one of the most important collections of 16th and 17th century Ottoman and Middle Eastern music.In this stimulating program, music from East and the West are engaged in an inspiring dialogue in which Ottoman music and works by Palestrina, Castello, and Marais coexist, inviting us to listen attentively and creatively to the new shapes these works take in the expert hands of the performers.
