Associate Professor of Jazz/Commercial Music, Saxophone, and Composition, Jason Rigby presents a special lecture-recital showcasing the original work completed during his sabbatical in Spring 2025. The featured project culminated in the release of Mayhem (Aug. 2025, Endectomorph Music), a collection of entirely original compositions and improvisations designed for audiophile-quality vinyl and worldwide digital streaming.
Mayhem is the result of a deep collaborative effort between Rigby and his longtime musical partner, Grammy-winning drummer Mark Guiliana. In addition to selections from Mayhem, this lecture-recital will include performances from a sister recording—produced during the same sessions—that is slated for release in conjunction with this TU event, again on Endectomorph Music. Rigby will be joined in performance by Guiliana and electric bassist Chris Morrissey.
