Program Note
Sydegt is not a real word. Heck, it's not even a word at all -- it's actually an acronym based off of one of the 'king of pop's' hit tunes. All the pitches, harmonies, and rhythms in Sydegt come from MJ himself -- it's all in there, but completely flipped around and told from my own perspective. In a sense, this chart can be construed as an "hommage a Jackson," and in a lot of ways, is. But we'll just call it Sydegt.         

Premiered February 3, 2014: Andrew Harrison (sax), Josh Moore (electric guitar), Dzovig Markarian (piano), and Huei-Yuan Pan (percussion) at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA
