Roger
Ruzow - Performer/Composer/Teacher - has been performing
trumpet for almost 20 years. A founding member of Gold
Sparkle Band, and his own, Ensemble Elastique, he has
toured and performed all over the U.S of.A. Additionally,
Rzuow's compositions have been featured on several Gold
Sparkle cd-releases, as well as used on documentary soundtracks.
With a compositional style he calls "Comprovisation"--
a mixture of composition and improvisation, where the
structure may or may not influence the improvisational
section -- there is a reliance on the situation and the
individual, thus allowing the performance of each piece
to have a seperate place in time. Ruzow has collaborated
and performed with : Gold
Sparkle Band, Gold Sparkle Duo, Nuzion Big Band,
William Parker and Other Dimensions in Music, Daniel Carter,
Ken
Vandermark and members of DKV,
Toshi Makihara,
Julian Sparacino, Members of
Sun Ra Arkestra, Paul
Jorgensen, and many others . . .
