Featuring Brenda Bufalino & American Tap Dance Orchestra, the American Landscape is an epic work that uses the sound of taps combined with original scores created by Choreographer Brenda Bufalino. Blended with this organic landscape is the melodic and poetic voice of American composer Hoagy Carmichael. Together they create the rhythmic, tonal and essence vibrations of our mountains, valleys, animals and rivers. The American Landscape was presented by the ATDO on tour from 1991-1993 and received rave reviews across the country and abroad! Part One includes pieces such as "Stardust" and "Skylark" celebrating the land and its habitats, and a quintessential Carmichael suite entitled "Sing Me a Swing Song & Let Me Dance." Also included is the ATDO's classic a capella piece "The Buffalo Suite", and solos by Brenda Bufalino, and ATDO members. Frank Kimbrough on piano, Joe Fonda on bass, and Pat Tortorici on vocals.
