- Program Notes
- “The Onyx” by JC Maynard portrays the smokey scene of an exclusive club for high rollers, mob mosses and forbidden lovers. The piece was first debuted by ~Nois Saxophone Quartet in November 2024. Inspired by a book Maynard is currently writing, this piece conveys the sleazy, immoral atmosphere of this particular den of crime. From a slow, sultry ballad for the mysterious woman in the corner smoking a cigar, to the raucous din of the casino floor, The Onyx is a whirlwind of irreverent jazz, film noir tropes, and unabashed noise.
