PATRICK CORNELIUS OCTET
Award winning saxophonist and composer (and Bay Ridge resident) Patrick Cornelius presents,
While We're Still Young,
a suite for octet featuring songs inspired by the children's poetry of A.A. Milne.
Originally commissioned by Chamber Music America as part of their 2012 "New Jazz Works" program,
While We're Still Young pays tribute to the classic whimsical adventures of Christopher Robin
from Milne's 1924 collection "When We Were Very Young",
all the while giving a nod to timeless jazz composers like Duke Ellington and Gil Evans.

7 years ago, Patrick’s grandmother gave him a copy of “When We Were Very Young” to read to his new baby daughter Isabella, continuing a family tradition passed along through 3 generations. He instantly fell in love with the poetry’s charming characters and preciously vivid sense of wonder and innocence, and wrote the 6 movements of While We’re Still Young as a multigenerational tribute to his grandmother, mother, wife, and two children.
While not strictly children’s music, While We’re Still Young appeals to the childlike wonder and innocence that still exists within all of us. It asks us to rediscover the joys of discovery, adventure, and love, and to live (in some part at least) as we did when our worlds were simpler.
For it’s world premiere, “While We’re Still Young” was broadcast live nationally in The United States on NPR member stations all over the country on “The Checkout Live” and “JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater”.
