Description

‘Mournin’ Son’ is an excerpt from Cleo’s original Spiritual Suite, an offering from her dance ensemble’s early repertoire, featuring Marceline Freeman & Randy Brooks; performed here for the first time with live musical accompaniment directed by Tom Tilton with his Improvisation Music/Theatre Ensemble.

‘A Jazz  Suite for Ann’..  is presented here for  the first time since the original World Premiere stage production played to over-capacity crowds attending each  performance in 1998.  Cleo offers tribute to her life long mentor and cousin Ann Henry, who’s legacy as one of  the innovator’s of Jazz Dance, inspired this 6 movement Suite. It is uniquely choreographed, narratively and figuratively blending solos and duets into double-ensemble improvisations in a celebration of the freedom of modern American Jazz Dance !
