ASCAP/IAJE Commissioned Works, Honoring Frank Foster, To Be Premiered At 2008 IAJE Conference

For the 11th year, the ASCAP/IAJE Commissions program has commissioned two new jazz works in honor of one of the genre’s major figures. This year, the new compositions have been commissioned to honor the life and work of composer, saxophonist and bandleader, Frank Foster. The new works will receive their premiere performances at the 2008 IAJE Conference in Toronto in January. The commissioned composers are Tim Hagans in the Established Category, and Ayn Inserto in the Emerging Category.
