The result will be showcased in a free (reservations required*) concert at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 26, in the Maureen Stapleton Theatre, located in the Siek Campus Center.<\/p>\n<p>Always performing \u2013 solo, as an accompanist, or with a trio that includes her husband, bassist Bill Delaney \u2013 Delaney hoped one day to turn all the melodies in her head into scores for a big band. The pandemic shutdown provided the free time she needed to compose or rework nearly 20 compositions that were premiered at a sold-out concert at SUNY Schenectady in fall 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Music Journalist Michael Hochanadel summed up the epic event: \u201cPeg Delaney led a black-clad crew of local heroes in two sets of her original tunes, then lit up \u2018Seven Steps to Heaven\u2019 \u201d [by Miles Davis and Victor Feldman]. \u201cThe show had a warm, family feel,\u201d Hochanadel wrote on Nippertown.com, recognizing that these musicians have supported each other for years. Many of them perform together in other groups. Now, Delaney is thrilled to bring her original works that often depict family and other memorable events to HVCC. She\u2019ll lead a line-up of stellar musicians &#8212; Alto Sax: Awan Jenkins, Jim Corigliano (Delaney\u2019s big band composition mentor); Tenor Sax: Brian Patneaude, Dave Fisk; Baritone Sax and Vocals: Jeanine Ouderkirk; Flute: Patty Fusco; Trumpet: Scott Thompson, Dylan Canterbury, Steve Lambert, Steve Horowitz; Trombone: Ken Olsen, Elias Assimakopolis, Mark Giordano; Bass Trombone: Shaun Bazylewicz; Acoustic Bass: Gregg August (Grammy winner and Delaney\u2019s nephew); Drums: Gene Garone; Percussion: Brian Melick.<\/p>\n<p>*Please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hvcc.edu\/culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.hvcc.edu\/culture<\/a> and click on &#8220;The Peg Delaney Big Band&#8221; to reserve your seat for what promises to be a spectacular event!<\/p>\n<p>The concert is presented by the college&#8217;s Cultural Affairs Program.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Thu, 19 Oct 2023 11:55:19 +0000 by\u00a0d.gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Jazz pianist brings 17 of the region\u2019s top musicians to the Troy campus!
