Ride the Culture Loop (1975)
A bus route through New York’s patchwork of ethnic neighborhoods was the inspiration for this dance, jazz being the aural equivalent of the alienation and social schisms Sokolow was exploring.
Rooms (1955)
“Rooms” deals with the psychic isolation and unfulfilled desires of people living in the big city. The jazz score by Kenyon Hopkins catches the pulse and beat of modern society. An enduring masterpiece of twentieth-century art.
