}}David Werner Amram III (born November 17, 1930) is an American composer, conductor, multi-instrumentalist, and author.[1] As a classical composer and performer, his integration of jazz (including being one of the first noted as an improvising jazz French hornist[2]), folkloric and world music has led him to work with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Willie Nelson, Langston Hughes, Charles Mingus, Pepper Adams, Levon Helm, Betty Carter and Jack Kerouac. BiographyAlong with Julius Watkins, Amram is considered a pioneer of jazz French horn. He also plays piano, numerous flutes and whistles, percussion, and dozens of folkloric instruments from 25 countries, as well as being an improvisational lyricist. Since working with Leonard Bernstein, (who chose him as The New York Philharmonic's first composer-in-residence in 1966[2]), he has been one of BMI's twenty most performed composers of concert music of the last thirty years. Some of Amram's recent orchestral works include Giants of the Night, a concerto for flute and orchestra (commissioned and premiered by Sir James Galway in 2002); Symphonic Variations on a Song by Woody Guthrie,[3] (commissioned by the Woody Guthrie Foundation and premiered in 2007); and A Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (written for and premiered by pianist Jon Nakamatsu in 2009).[4] Currently Amram is working on a new orchestral piece, a new chamber work, and is participating in releases of a new series of CDs of his orchestral chamber music and jazz compositions. Violin virtuoso Elmira Darvarova and members of the New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra participated in the annual New York Chamber Music Festival, performing an evening of Amram's chamber works at Symphony Space in New York City, to be released as a CD in 2013. Amram guest conducted the Colorado Symphony Orchestra in Denver in a program which included his "Symphonic Variations on a Song by Woody Guthrie" and "Theme and Variations on Red River Valley," for flute and strings, both of which will appear on a new CD of Amram's music in 2013. The Boston Symphony's classical saxophonist Kenneth Radnofsky has commissioned Amram to compose a new work, "Greenwich Village Portraits," to be premiered worldwide February 1, 2014, by forty different saxophone soloists in forty different venues, sponsored by The Worldwide Concurrent Premieres and Commissioning Funds, Inc. There are plans to release a CD of Amram's symphonic and chamber compositions for saxophone with Radnosky as the soloist in 2013. Radnofsky also appears with Sir James Galway, Pete Seeger, Kurt Elling, Buck Henry, Tiokaskin Ghost Horse, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, David Broza, Candido, Bobby Sanabria, the Queens College Orchestra (conducted by Maurice Peress and Candido), singers and players from the LSU Opera, and other artists, in Lawrence Kraman's new documentary feature film The First 80 Years. Amram also appears in Andrew Zuckerman's book and new feature film documentary Wisdom: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give To Another, as one of the world's 50 Elder Thinkers and Doers, and his instructional video, Origins of Symphonic Instruments, released by Educational Video, is shown in over 6,000 schools throughout the United States and Canada. The 1959 song "Pull My Daisy" was re-recorded with Amram in 2002 with the band Curse with Kevin Sean Michaels and Marc Ribot on guitars.[5] Amram is mentioned in the popular children's song "Peanut Butter Sandwich" by Raffi, in the line "one for me and one for David Amram", a fact which Amram said "impressed" his children; Raffi later admitted that he had mentioned Amram because he "couldn't think of anything [else] to rhyme with 'jam'."[6] DiscographyAs leader| Year | Album | Personnel | Label | | 1957 | Jazz Studio No. 6: The Eastern Scene | Decca Records | | 1961 | Jazz Portrait | Bobby Jaspar, Harold Land, George Barrow | Decca Records | | 1971 | No More Walls | Jerry Dodgion, Pepper Adams, Candido, | Flying Fish/Rounder Records | | 1972 | Subway Night | RCA Records | | 1974 | Triple Concerto | RCA Records | | 1977 | Havana/New York | Flying Fish/Rounder Records | | 1980 | At Home/Around the World | Flying Fish/Rounder Records | | 1982 | Latin Jazz Celebration | Joe Wilder, Jimmy Knepper, Steve Berrios, George Barrow, Pepper Adams, Jerry Dodgion, Duduka Fonseca, Machito, Victor Venegas, Candido | Elektra/Musician | | 1990 | Autobiography | Flying Fish/Rounder Records | | 1995 | Pull My Daisy | Premier Records | | 1996 | Final Ingredient: An Opera of the Holocaust | Premier | | 1999 | Southern Stories | Chrome Records | | 2001 | Spirit: A Tribute to Jack Kerouac | | 2002 | On the Waterfront | Varèse Sarabande | | 2004 | The Manchurian Candidate | Varèse Sarabande | | 2011 | David Amram Poetry Jam | Casey Cyr, Steve Dalachinsky, Albert Kausch, Richard Lee Martin, Lee Ranaldo, Ron Whitehead | Calque Cinema | | 2014 | The Young Savages - Original Soundtrack | Harold Land | Intrada | | 2016 | Jazz On Film...David Amram's Classic American Film Scores 1956 - 2016 5-CD Boxset feat - The Manchurian Candidate, Pull My Daisy, Splendor in The Grass, The Arrangement, Isn't It Delicious, The Young Savages, After The Fall, On The Waterfront (on Broadway) | Harold Land, Paul Horn, Carmell Jones, Buster Bailey, Thad Jones, George Barrow, Sahib Shihab, Jerry Dodgion, Candido, Laurindo Almeida, Pepper Adams, Jack Kerouac | Moochin' About |
