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. Rigby will be joined in performance by Guiliana and electric bassist Chris Morrissey.
