Piano Concerto #2; The Jazz

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
As Scott MacClelland of the Coast Weekly said in 1997: .If Haydn could use Austrian folk music in his symphonies, if Shubert could indulge the Landler, Ives create congestions of band marches, hymns, anthems and popular songs, then why shouldn't Hayden Wayne write vivacious symphonies based on (and subtitled) REGGAE, HEAVY METAL and FUNK? . His four movement, 45-minute SYMPHONY #4-FUNK, lately recorded the Brno State Philharmonic under Leos Svarovsky (New Millennium 61596) is pervasively dominated by finger-snapping syncopations of funk, that campy distillation of rhythm and blues, rock and jazz. Using the resources of a large orchestra, Wayne goes on to accrete thrilling crescendos and climaxes in the manner of Rossini's comic finales. As Maurice Edwards, Artistic Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, said in 1990: .His work is very well wrought and refreshingly original, but at the same time more accessible to the average listener than most new music. Mr. Wayne seems to understand what our age needs at this point. Thus, he is capable of writing in the popular idiom as well, and of transforming it into serious symphonic music which still has the beat and throb of the more vernacular styles of today. Has not classical music always drawn upon folk and dance music? The brilliant composer/pianist/conductor, Lukas Foss became a vocal champion of my work stating: (Rock 'n' roll piano concerto is) lots of fun, serious fun, and well written. And,: This is my endorsement of Hayden Wayne, a brilliant young composer, who should be shown every opportunity! Thirty years ago I composed my rock 'n' roll piano concerto based on the motifs of the folk art form. This piano concerto for large orchestra uses jazz, with various solo cadenzas.
