The Constella Festival of Music and Fine Arts showed its commitment to new music by commissioning a work for its inaugural season, jazz saxophonist Ted Nash's "
Suite Ivette" for jazz and string quartet. The premiere, Oct. 29 at the Blue Wisp Jazz Club in Cincinnati, was a sellout, with Nash, Rusty Burge (vibraphone and percussion), Dan Karlsberg (piano), Jim Leslie (drums), Michael Sharf (acoustic bass), Tatiana Berman (violin), Suzanna Barnes (electric violin), Yael Senamaud-Cohen (viola) and Susan Marshall-Petersen (cello. And a good time was had by all.
