On August 17, Half Note Records will release Kenny Werner's largest and most ambitious project to date - No Beginning, No End - featuring Joe Lovano, Judi Silvano, a string quartet, perucssion ensemble, 40+ woodwinds and a large choir. The piece is a tribute to Werner's late daugther Katheryn, who passed away unexpectedly and tragically in 2006.
The eventual work that became No Beginning, No End was based off a poem Werner wrote in the aftermath of the tragedy. The wind ensemble was recorded at NYU Steinhardt's theater in the summer of 2009. Dutch filmmaker Søren Jensen was able to document the project on video. Below is a trailer that discusses the making of No Beginning, No End and how it all came together.
