Innovative and beyond category, Boots has been expanding the repertoire for under-represented woodwinds – shakuhachi and bass clarinet – since 1994. Founder/composer of the world’s first bass clarinet quartet, Edmund Welles, and of Black Earth Shakuhachi School, Boots continues the panstylistic, deep musicianship lineage of Duke Ellington and Eric Dolphy into the 21st century. The concert will feature solos, duos and quartets performed by Boots, Dr. Regan and Dr. Vos-Rochefort as well as bass clarinet students from Texas A&M-Kingsville campus.
